Town’s tall tree takes a topple!

 
 
Timber!
 

Last Saturday night, the wind got up to such a level that it blew the town’s very tall Christmas tree down!
Falling forward and to the right, towards Davidson’s Chemists, we are happy to report that neither person nor property was damaged in the incident.
