AHF Merchandise, via three of its flooring manufacturers – Bruce®, Armstrong Flooring™, and Robbins® – is a sponsor of the 2023 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree.
The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree – generally known as “The Folks’s Tree” – lights up the West Garden of the U.S. Capitol throughout the vacation season and is chosen from a unique nationwide forest every year, a practice that started in 1970 when Monongahela Nationwide Forest offered the primary tree on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service. This yr, Monongahela Nationwide Forest is offering the tree as soon as once more. The tree was harvested in Randolph County from the Greenbrier Ranger District and can journey round West Virginia all through November earlier than heading to Washington, D.C.
“AHF Merchandise is proud to assist this excellent custom that highlights the fantastic thing about our nationwide forests,” stated Jeff Sommer, director of built-in advertising and digital engagement. “This magnificent tree will present a possibility for all Individuals to have fun the spirit of the vacation season because the tree makes its journey to our nation’s capital.”
The “Folks’s Tree” was wrapped and secured at AHF Merchandise’ Beverly, West Virginia hardwood flooring manufacturing facility, working in tandem with the U.S. Forest Service.
