We have a Yooper Tree for the State Christmas tree this year

Thanks to George Miljour from the burg of Suomi Junction (near Palmer which if you don't know where that is, it's southeast of Ishpeming) in Michigan's Upper Peninsula has donated a 101 year old spruce for this year's Michigan Christmas Tree to be displayed at the State Capital in Lansing. Last year's tree also came from the U.P. - Gladstone to be exact. The lighting ceremony is slated for November 21st. Read all about the Yooper State Christmas Tree at the Mining Journal.
