The tree is part of the park that Lorraine and Herve Burri built next to the Enfield Volunteer Fire Department and St. Bernard\u2019s Catholic Church on Hwy 2 in Enfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among that group of friends that sorted the branches and the ornaments\/balls that went on the tree were Robin Wilber and Linda Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilber said there\u2019s a concrete thing in the middle that the cable comes down and tightens up to it to keep it from upsetting in the wind. That came in hand when the wind and rainstorm of Nov. 22-23 hit the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t see that concrete thing in the summer because it’s covered with beautiful plants,\u201d said Wilber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The volunteers were on hand for about three-and-a-half hours on Nov. 20 as they made the tree become reality. It’s lights were turned on later that day. In past years there have been events held before the tree was lit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLorraine and Herve are so kind, to build and maintain this beautiful park and the tree that it’s not hard to get volunteers to help,\u201d said Wilber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that Lorraine had arranged for Beth from Shooters Bar & Grill to come with treats and coffee and hot chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think, there’s a box of cookies or chocolates or something for everybody here, so she makes sure she looks after her elves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
