The sale of Fraser Firs is an annual fundraiser
By KEN BRADLEY - Staff Writer
The Smith Mountain Lake Rotary Club will sell 101 Christmas trees as its winter fundraiser.
The trees are all Fraser Firs, considered by many buyers as the most desirable choice for indoor Christmas use, according to Brian Raub.
All of the selected Christmas trees will be sold at Hot Shots, off Route 122 at Westlake.
Each of the Virginia-grown Fraser Firs was hand-picked by Cindy DeMarco, who has been the club's Christmas tree expert for 10 years.
