Looking for something to do with your old Christmas Trees & Wreaths? Pickup of trees is ongoing.
Your old Christmas Trees, Wreaths & Garland are needed for the Norrie Amateur Sports Club's 17th Annual Light Up The Night Christmas Tree Burning Party. This year's tree burn is scheduled for Saturday, January 31st @ 7pm. You can drop off your trees at the North end of our parking lot @ 385 Aspen St, just behind the old Manny's Restaurant. You will see the trees stacked there. If unable to transport your own tree, you can place the tree in an accessible spot near the road and we will pick it up for you. Comment your address here or private message our page with your pickup address. You may also call the Club at (906) 932-9763 every day after 4pm and ask for your tree to be picked up. We will travel anywhere between Iron Belt, WI, Saxon, WI and Ironwood, Bessemer, Ramsay & Wakefield, MI. Make sure to join us on January 31st when we light up the night for the 17th year in a row!!!
Follow the Club's page for updates.
