Christmas is still three months away, but Clark County Judge-Executive Henry Branham is looking for a Christmas tree.

“Usually by now, we’ve have people calling and asking us to come look at a tree” for use in front of the courthouse, he said. “We haven’t gotten the first call yet. I hate to leave it to the last minute.”

Branham said the county wants a local tree in the range of 18 to 25 feet tall to go in front of the courthouse on Main Street.

Big trees aren’t always easy to find.

“The courthouse is such a big building,” he said. “We need about three feet to put it in the ground. Somewhere (between 18 and 25 feet) makes a good-looking tree for the building.”

The tree is lit for the Christmas parade, which is scheduled for Dec. 2.

If anyone has a tree to offer, call Branham’s office at 745-0200.
