Oh Christmas Tree | Messages From The Mitten

The Kurzynski family finds their perfect tree at Tannenbaum Tree Farms in Mason.

Today we’re starting a weekly series we’re calling “Messages from the Mitten.” 

This holiday season is unlike any other, and we thought we’d find out how people are adapting – or pressing on – with their holiday traditions. 

Finding the right Christmas tree is often a great family bonding experience. 

WKAR’s Kevin Lavery went to Tannenbaum Tree Farms in Mason to watch this tradition unfold. 

Kevin Lavery served as a general assignment reporter and occasional local host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered before retiring in 2023.
WKAR’s first live pledge drive since federal funding was eliminated is happening now. Our goal for the drive is $60,000 and reaching it will bring us one step closer to closing the federal funding gap.
