Fayette County Civitan Club is raising funds by hosting their annual live Christmas Tree lot. The Club invites you to, "create your family holiday memories by purchasing a live tree for Christmas and help others while doing so".
Sales began the day after Thanksgiving, November 28th and will continue throughout December. The profits from the tree lot will be going to charities that the Fayette County Civitan Club supports.
The trees come in a variety of sizes. The location of the Christmas Tree lot is at Melear’s BBQ Restaurant Parking Lot, 420 Glynn Street South or State Highway 85 in Fayetteville, GA. Also offered by the Fayette County Civitan Club are one pound bags of fresh shelled Pecans, Christmas Fruit-Cakes, Paula Deen Spice Kits all of which make fabulous gifts for family and friends. These items can be purchased from any member of the Fayette County Civitan Club, at the Christmas Tree Lot or inside the Melears BBQ Restaurant as well.
