I will be heading to Meeker on Friday for the Capitol Christmas Tree cutting. What an honor and opportunity it is for Coloradans to be able to showcase our state’s natural beauty by giving the gift of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree—the People’s Tree—to our nation. Read more at the link below to see when the tree will be coming through your area as it makes it's way around our state and then across the nation.- Praying for the safety of my DC staff and all along the East Coast who are going to be impacted by Hurricane Sandy.
