Capitol Trees to Please
A beautiful California tree was NOT chosen in 2016 to grace the Nation’s Capitol but closer to home at our California State Capitol in Sacramento a 60-foot-tall white fir from Latour Demonstration State Forest near Redding gets lit on Monday, Dec. 5 in the 85th annual tree lighting ceremony. Governor Brown and First Lady Anne Gust Brown will light the Capitol Christmas tree with 7-year-old twin boys, Alex and Alan Rosales of Los Angeles.
