A total of 13 trees and 11 wreaths were auctioned off to benefit the Conrad Area Chamber of Commerce on Dec. 2. This annual event was started in 2002, and in the beginning trees went for a mere $35. Last year, one tree alone went for $3,500.
That famous ‘Cancer Tree’, as it came to be known, was introduced last year in a pink and brown fashion and was adorned with gift certificates from area businesses.
This year the ‘Cancer Tree’ was a bit different. Decorated with a stunning white and glitter theme, it came with $2,060 in Chamber Bucks, a bottle of wine and a $100 gift certificate from Conrad Building Center. It was decorated by Conrad Tire, Conrad Building Center and Olson’s Drug.
The money for the Chamber Bucks came from individuals who wished to honor a friend or loved one who is battling or has battled cancer. Honorees had their names put on snowflakes and their names were recited, in a room that suddenly became quiet, before the tree was auctioned off.
