Mike Kalnay and Joe Jensen say theySA国际影视传媒檙e desperate to get rid of their Christmas trees.
Last year, the Yellowknife Scouts had sold all but one of their trees before they had even arrived in town. This year, they have between 100 and 150 trees left SA国际影视传媒 one third of their stock SA国际影视传媒 just three days before Christmas.
Yellowknifers came out in droves for the first day of the sale: SA国际影视传媒淪ome people waited for two hours to get in,SA国际影视传媒 says Kalnay, the ScoutsSA国际影视传媒 tree yard coordinator. He says he isnSA国际影视传媒檛 sure why the trees arenSA国际影视传媒檛 selling anymore, although he speculates the shipment being delayed by several weeks, plus more families making plans to travel abroad, might have something to do with it.
To keep the trees from becoming mulch, the Scouts are giving them away to the Salvation Army, local churches, and other charities. Although Wednesday is the last day of their sale, Kalnay says Yellowknifers can still reach out on social media after Wednesday night for a last-minute tree. SA国际影视传媒淲e wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 want the Kranks to go without a tree if their daughter calls from the airport on Friday morning,SA国际影视传媒 he says.
