After one cancellation due to a mechanical issue, followed by another because of weather, we were finally able to safely take down the beautiful Punta Gorda Christmas Tree and tuck it away until next season.
A special thank you to Nick Mayl of Florida Tree and Ground Maintenance, Inc. for stepping in on very short notice and providing the crane support needed to complete the job safely and efficiently.
As always, we are incredibly grateful the City of Punta Gorda Public Works for their hard work and dedication each year — this tradition would not be possible without them.
Last but certainly not least, thank you to all of our sponsors and community members for making this year’s tree lighting another wonderful success. We are already looking forward to an even bigger and better event next year.
Please remember to support and patronize the local businesses that help make events like this possible for our community.
