The 5pm Post – Bancroft Holiday/Christmas Tree Sale, Past Tense Holiday Market, PBR/Natty Boh Extravaganza and a Celebration of Pots

“Dear PoP,

Great Holiday Trees for a Great Cause — On December 4 and 5, 2010, from 10- 4, the Bancroft Elementary School PTA will hold its annual holiday tree sale. We have trees of every size and for every budget, as well as wreaths, roping, stands and craft activities for the kids. So come by, buy a tree (with all proceeds going to the PTA), get some hot chocolate and visit our brand new playground!! Bancroft is located at the corner of 18th Street and Newton in Mt. Pleasant”

And in case you missed it we spoke about other spots around town to buy Christmas trees right before Thanksgiving.
