December proclaimed Christmas Tree Month in Missouri

December is officially Christmas Tree Month in Missouri.

Governor Mike Parson presented a proclamation to winners of the Missouri Christmas Tree Association’s annual wreath and tree contests, held earlier this year.

Lloyd’s Family Farm in Ashland won the tree contest and has provided a 10-foot tree to the Missouri Capitol.  The 2024 winning wreath comes from Pea Ridge Forest in Hermann.

Governor Parson said the proclamation is another way to recognize farmers and ranchers for their contributions to the state.
