Christmas Trees for sale at WHS
Once again the Western High Baseball team is selling Christmas trees. These trees are being sold on a pre-sale basis only, and can be ordered through any player or through Lonnie Smith. The company that grows the trees does so only for pre-sale… and not for tree lots. This means they can tend to the trees better, giving you a great tree for up to 30% less than you’ll find on the commercial lots. If you are interested, click on the article link above for the full pricelist.
