Generations of local families continue the tradition of buying their annual Christmas tree at Ayers, route 176, in Landrum. Five members of the Baker Family, Madalin, Anderson, Father Mike, Marc and Mother Laurin arrived in their pick up truck to do just that.  The Baker family, after looking at many freshly cut  trees made the family decision to take one home. Ayers is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (photo submitted by Anne Regan)
