Locally Grown Christmas Tree Set To Become Television Star
A Monetta Virginia Pine grown by Tom Sawyer at Sawyer's Christmas Tree Farm will debut on Educational Television in an upcoming Tunkee's Last Christmas special. The tree was delivered to the Governor's mansion and Sawyer will also appear on the program. Sawyer won in the White Pine category of the SC Christmas Tree Growers Association contest, with the Virginia Pine chosen for the mansion. Other winners will be placed in the Governor's office and Lace House. Sawyer's five acre farm grows about 400 trees yearly with 50 Red Cedar and White Pine and most Virginia Pines, and he donated a tree to the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce last year.
