Recycled Christmas Tree Surges to 24 Feet at Lorain Drive
Vincent Stever decorates a 24 foot recycled Christmas tree at 3201 Lorain Dr. The tree grew from a sapling planted 14 years ago after the family’s first Christmas in the home. Stever and his sons Ralph and Mitchell climb a scaffold each year to add 250 lights and handmade decorations cut from soda and beer cans. The garland is formed from thousands of aluminum pull tabs.
