Burns Fruit Company Christmas Display Captivates Downtown
The Burns fruit house showcases a stunning holiday display built from apples and oranges forming two walls on the northern and western sides. Palms rise from the stacked fruit, evergreen festoons hang from the ceiling, and holly and mistletoe decorate the windows as candy fills a long table. Credit for the concept and execution goes to Chris Burns, who led the effort after hours of hard work and earned wide praise from visitors.
