Hanging Out (and by that we mean eating) in Memphis

Tuesday, November 23, 2010 - Today we had a day off in Memphis with no scheduled celebrations or events. Truth be told, the Tree needed a day away from the team. We can be a little difficult, demanding and tough to haul around, so we wanted to give the Tree some space.

Of course being in Memphis we made finding the best ribs in town a top priority. Team Tree made it to BB Kings Blues Club and Rendezvous to eat, while of course working diligently!

About the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree

The Bridger-Teton National Forest, at the request of Senator John Barrasso, is leading the State of Wyoming in the delivery of the Capitol Christmas Tree for 2010.

The Capitol Christmas Tree will grace the west front lawn of the U.S. Capitol in December 2010. This past summer, the Architect of the U.S. Capitol selected a 67-foot Engelmann spruce from the Bridger-Teton National Forest which has been cut, loaded, covered and prepped for travel to Washington, D.C.

Throughout November, the tree will be toured across the state of Wyoming before heading east to the U.S. Capitol. In late November, the tree will be delivered to the U.S. Capitol, where it will be lowered into a 5-foot deep hole, strung with lights, and decorated with thousands of handcrafted ornaments made by Wyoming people from across the State. On December 7, the Speaker of the House, along with student Daniel Sitter of Fairview, will light the tree and showcase Wyoming's historical, cultural and natural beauty.
