The McCloud Chamber of Commerce has started a new holiday tradition involving all the local children decorating holiday trees instead of having a crane put lights on a large tree on Main Street.
A McCloud mother of 4 children, Kasey Girard, came up with the idea of ditching the lighting of the large tree on Main Street and having a Charlie Brown Tree Grove where all the McCloud students are bussed over to decorate the trees with ornaments that they made in school. Using a picture of themselves, each class has its own tree to adorn, each with a different theme.
