"There was no fanfare when the tree arrived - a 22-foot Fraser fir strapped to the back of a flat-bed tow truck.
But as Fort Bragg crews worked to trim the tree and stand it upright, a small group gathered to watch in appreciation.

And for the kids.
"...Stroupe said there also will be a promise of "snow" - as crews will truck in several tons of ice to create two 20-foot ramps for sledding and a 20-by-20 foot snow play area...."
Details are in the linked story.
