Murfreesboro and Rutherford County are in search of a large tree to celebrate Christmas this holiday season.

Main Street is looking for an 18-20 foot tall evergreen-preferably a fir, blue or Norwegian spruce from Rutherford County. On December 1st, the Rutherford County Courthouse comes aglow as the community comes together for the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Celebration.

Amy Byers with Murfreesboro Electric stated...

There will be singing, caroling, delicious treats and, of course, a visit by Santa Claus. The Public Square turns festive on this night when merchants stay open late, restaurants offer holiday specials, and entertainment captivates the historic downtown.

"We need your help!" states Kathleen Herzog, Main Street Director. "If you are willing to donate a tree to our historic downtown, please give Main Street a call. In addition to acknowledging your kind gift during the tree lighting, Santa promises to make all your wishes come true!" The tree will be on display throughout the holiday season beginning the night of the tree lighting.

Do you have the tree?
