A while ago we found out that Tony and Heather Sampson from Richmond County were donating this years “Tree for Boston”.
Nova Scotia’s gift to Boston has become a beloved annual tradition, a thank you for helping during a horrific event. December 1917, the Halifax Explosion leveled much of our capital city. Help poured in from all over, especially from Boston, Massachusetts. The following year, 1918, a Christmas tree was sent as a thank you. Then in 1971, the Lunenburg County Christmas Tree Producers decided to again send a tree to Boston and started the annual tradition.
Tonight you will be able to watch the “Boston Tree Lighting Ceremony” from the comfort of your own home. They are going to Broadcast it online.
