As soon as Thanksgiving is behind us, many residents will want to spruce up their homes for their next big holiday. Southborough Firefighters have already beeen promoting their annual tree sale that will kick off this Friday afternoon.
For over 50 years, the Southborough Firefighter Association has raised funds by selling trees.
The SFA lot will open for business the Friday after Thanksgiving. The sale will run until their trees sell out.
Firefighters will again sell trees (during their off hours) in the Southborough Golf Club parking lot behind the Public Safety Building at 32 Cordaville Road.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the hours will be 9:00 am – 8 :00 pm. Weekdays will be evening sales only — 5:00 – 8:00 pm. The exception is the first day, Black Friday, November 28th. A flyer promotes that the trees will be ready to be sold starting at 1:00 pm.
At the SFA tree lot you can usually find a wide range of tree sizes, ranging from 5-feet to 13-feet, all with reasonable prices. They offer a fresh cut for the tree before you take it on the road.
If you live in town, they can also deliver it for you (for an extra $10 fee).
Proceeds from the sale benefit the Southborough Firefighters Association.
(And while you are picking up a tree, you can also drop off a donated gift at the station for the annual collection drive for Project Just Because in Hopkinton.)
