Tucson

Well did our managers meeting for the Christmas Tree Lot at a Phoenix hotel.  Got to see these balloons lift off on our way.

Friday, we spend the whole day learning how to run a Christmas Tree Lot.  We have to be at the Lot on Saturday to start setting up.  So, we head on down the road to Tucson.

I wonder how fast we should take this turn 

Occupy Tucson 

We originally were to be in Phoenix then we were told on Broadway in Tucson, this is the lot but it wasn't set up.  I guess the deal fell thru on this lot and we were moved to the Pantano Lot 

Pantano Lot in front of Sam Levitz Furniture  

At least it has a view of the Catalina Mountains 

Then the first load of Trees arrives 11/21

Get em in and get em watered.

The extras get left on the ground out back under shade tarps.  They need to be watered 3-4 times a day.

Trees need to have holes drilled in the trunks for the stands, stood up, placed in the tent, the netting cut off and the stands filled with water.  All of our trees will be sold displayed in Stands so the people can see exactly what they are getting, they are also showered with water 3-4 times a day to keep them moist, unlike the Big Box stores that just put them bundled in a bin without water for weeks on end.  We have Nobles, Nordmanns, Grand Firs, Fraser Firs and Douglas Firs.

We will open Thanksgiving Day and sell until Christmas Eve.  Lots of work to do and a tent to decorate as well.
