This holiday season Boy Scout Troop 364 will again be selling Christmas trees and wreaths as part of their fundraising efforts for their scouting programs. They will partner with Shepherd’s Way Trees to offer everyone fresh and great quality products. Interested buyers will need to purchase their tree or wreath voucher from one of the scouts and then take it to one of 3 Shepherd’s Way Tree lots where they may pick out a tree or wreath. For each voucher sold a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the scout troop. The cost for any tree up to 7′ is $60 and wreaths are $14. For more information please contact Tony Leger at 789-8323 or aleger@nc.rr.com. As always, the scouts thank you for your support.
