The Community Christmas Tree was placed in the First National Bank & Trust’s outdoor plaza in downtown Iron Mountain on Monday morning in preparation for the annual Christmas Walk and Tree Lighting event Friday evening. The tree was again donated by Swanson’s Big Red Barn. Employees from Bacco Construction Co. lifted the tree in place and strung the lights.
