Iowa tree growers to visit White House for second holiday presentation
Lloyd and Nola Vander Streek of Pella will present an 18 foot Fraser fir to President and Mrs. Bush on Friday as heads of the National Christmas Tree Association. They join Michael and Bruce Lacey of North Carolina, with the display to be placed in the White House Blue Room. The Vander Streeks note the trip comes during their busiest season and highlight Iowa’s growth from 125 to about 700 Christmas tree growers since 1978.
