The city of Joliet is seeking the donation of a large evergreen to be used as the downtown Christmas tree display.

The tree, which must be at least to 30 to 35 feet, is the centerpiece of the city's holiday activities in the Van Buren Plaza. Every year, a local resident donates the tree used in the display.

If you're willing to donate a tree, the city will take care of cutting and moving the evergreen at no expense to the resident.

To donate a tree or for more information, call the Joliet Public Works Department at 815-724-4200.
