Grand Traverse County Welcomes Christmas Tree Season
GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich. – As the holiday season kicks into high gear, families across the region are gearing up to find the perfect Christmas tree this weekend. Komrska’s Christmas Trees, a beloved local business operating on Fourteenth Street in Traverse City for nearly half a century, officially opened its lot today, anticipating robust sales this year.
Owner Ben Komrska noted the high demand, especially with Thanksgiving occurring later in the month. "We know today is a very busy day for us," he remarked, emphasizing the logistical efforts to prepare for the surge in customers. Trees were brought in early to avoid potential disruptions from the incoming snowstorm, as Komrska humorously pointed out that "a little snow always helps" in creating a festive atmosphere.
With Michigan ranking third in the nation for Christmas tree production, the state plays a significant role in the holiday spirit, contributing an estimated $45 million annually to its economy. As families bring their trees home, Komrska urges them to remember an essential tip: keeping the tree well-watered to maintain freshness throughout the season.
As the community comes together for this cherished holiday tradition, local businesses like Komrska’s Christmas Trees are poised to provide memorable experiences for families seeking to celebrate the joys of the season. With snow in the forecast and trees ready for selection, the festive spirit is alive and well in Grand Traverse County.
