Tree for life award.

Young Farms/Vermont Evergreens is holding a contest to determine the number of needles on a Christmas Tree. Young Farms, based in Lyndonville, VT has selected a 7 foot tall Christmas Tree and will be displaying it at their retail lots at Clarks Sunoco, exit 12 in Williston, VT, 244 Broad Street, Lyndonville, VT and at 220 Lebanon Road, Hanover, NH for the Christmas season.

Each person is allowed to guess the number of needles on the tree. The winner receives a supply of Christmas Trees for life! According to Allen Young of Young Farms "I have wanted to do this for years-I think we are the first in the nation to actually count the needles on a Christmas tree".

"Many people are concerned about the number of needles that fall off a tree-when actually most of the needles do stay on a tree-so we wanted to count them and involve our customers in this exciting process. We will hire a group of people after Christmas to actually count them." It should be a real eye opener for some of us - so if anyone likes to count - come on in to see us." And the winner will receive a lifetime supply of their Christmas Tree - compliments of Young Farms/Vermont Evergreens.

Young Farms/Vermont Evergreens is a Christmas Tree Farm located in Lyndonville, VT with retail lots in Lyndonville, VT, Williston, VT and Hanover, NH. They are members of The National Christmas Tree Association, The NH/VT Christmas Tree Association, and The Vermont Christmas Tree Association.
