Dayton "Dirt" - November 26, 2010

It’s finally time to pick out a real Christmas tree for an old-fashioned Christmas.
No, a real tree is not as convenient and easy as a pre-lit artificial tree but then that’s the fun of it.

The “fun” is the search for the perfect tree with just the right shape, needle length, color, height and width.

Getting outside in the fresh air and maybe snow with the entire family and you might just have to make a “day of it” instead of family members going his or her own separate way.

Our trees are all Ohio-grown and as I’ve written in earlier blogs, ours are very fresh!

The Owl Barn is filled with trees, gift items, poinsettias and such that give the inside of the building a Christmas glow.

You’ll have to come by to see the 11 foot Fraser Fir decorated against the north wall.

Its lit up with more than 800 LED lights that cut power usage by as much as 80% compared to the old incandescent types.

I like the LED Christmas lights as they are cool to the touch and don’t tend to dry out the tree.

For nearly 30 years, we’ve been making and displaying quite an array of grave decorations that are ready for pick up or delivery.

Live and artificial wreaths, door swags, roping and greens are displayed inside and outside the Owl Barn.

Come on down to take a look at our beautiful trees and displays and visit the new Owl Barn Market.
