Wolfeboro Christmas Tree Going Up!

[mcdude]

Ho! Ho! Ho! Wolfeboro's beautiful annual Christmas Tree is being set up this morning (Monday 11/22) and you can watch it on the Wolfeboro Web Cam as it is decorated over the next few days.

after it is set up and lighted it makes a great wallpaper/background for your desktop for the Holidays. Wolfeboro's Christmas Parade is this Saturday.

This is my first winter as a local "non-voting" taxpayer. I saw the tree delivered last week and went by it tonight. I was very disappointed on how few lights and/or decorations it has. Is this how it usually is? :confused:
I know they had their "tree-lighting" yesterday.

Ya I was in wolf. friday ..The tree is crooked ..And why put it in the street? How about over by the gazebo or something ??

[Steve]

The wind must have blown it over a bit, there's no way they could consider the current angle "normal." I'm sure they'll get it fixed.

I was by yesterday and I couldn't believe how crooked it is.

(11-30-04) I HAD POSTED A SHOT OF THE CROOKED TREE BUT NOW THE CAM IS BACK ON (12/2...now the web cam is down....)AND THIS BECAME A "LIVE FEED" of the real tree. Looks good to me!

It is usually a very nice tree. We can't see it now because the web cam appears to be down.

Here's a photo from Wolfeboro-on-Line that shows a nice looking tree. Let's Hope the Web Cam is up soon!

That is a beautiful snow covered picture, but I believe that was taken in another year. First of all, we haven't had any snow and second, that isn't what I saw last night. The tree last night only had a few white lights.

Yes that photo was taken in another year!

Here's 3 other nice views from prior years...

I have been trying to look at it on the main street cam, the same picture has been there since friday the 26th......I hope to see it soon. :)

The Wolfeboro Street Cam is up and running again today with a "live feed" of their pretty little crooked Christmas Tree.

I just checked it out and a little crooked is an understatement....... :eek:

[Zee]

Wow, it has many more lights than it did a few days ago. It doesn't seem to be as crooked either. This tree always makes me smile as I go through town. :) :) :) :)

Maybe it's one of those trees we seem to end up with every few years at our house - the kind that looks straight from some angles but crooked from other angles! I think these quirks give trees lots of character since thay aren't perfect. Wolfeboro's tree looks great!

from way down here.

And......what's so cool is, I know exactly where it is!! :)

[mcdude]

I'm chuckling here right now because they finally got the webcam up and running but at the moment....they have forgotten to turn the tree lights on!

[mcdude]

are they fixing the tree's black-out? Straightening it?.....or both? Check in at nightfall to find out!

Now the Web Cam is down! :p

[madrasahs]

As Russtic says, the tree isn't perfectly straight in this view; however, no other vertical surface in the picture is either! :confused:

It doesn't help that the camera is behind a double-paned window, and a "second, mirrored, set" of christmas lights is reflected between the panes, making the tree appear to lean even more.

It's looking fine. :)
