Bandon used to do this and we anchored it in a large and deep hole at our visitor center. After going through the hassle of finding and cutting down and hauling in large trees year after year, GBA started a campaign to raise money to purchase a live tree.</div>

We agreed to put up $800 if twelve investors from the community put up $200 apiece, that is tripled our commitment. With that we found a tree farm in Gresham that delivered the tree to us in Bandon.</div>

It was a major win for us and the community as a significant minority had questioned the waste of cutting down very mature trees for what mounted to a four week celebration.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Good afternoon everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our local fairgrounds is hoping to install a large community tree this year. The only problem is that they don't have one planted, they are cutting it down and bringing it in. Do any of your towns do this, and if so, how do they secure it at the base?'</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
