    Holiday Edition - 2008 2008 CapITOL ChrIstmas TREE For the third time in four years, National Van Lines transported the 2008 Capitol Christmas Tree for the US Forest Service. This year’s tree was cut from the Bitterroot National Forest in Hamil- ton, Montana, and was delivered to the West Lawn of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on November 23rd. Since 1970, Congress has asked a different National Forest to pro- vide “the People’s Tree” – complete with all the trimmings – as a gift to our nation each holiday season. Selected by the Capitol Ar- chitect, Ted Bechtol, the tree was one of a dozen candidates identi- fied by Forest Service personnel and local citizens. A sub-alpine fir, the tree stood over 100 feet tall in the forest and by counting the rings after the cutting ceremony, it was determined to be approxi- mately 140 years old. Cut down to approximately 75 feet for travel, the Capitol Christmas Tree was transported across the country by the 2006 “tree driver,” Gordy Grove. Accompanying Gordy on the cross-country trek was Carll Smith, who handled 85 companion trees and the 5000 ornaments created by school children and other Montana citizens. The culmination of the trip was the lighting ceremony, held on De- cember 2, with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi doing the honors. Maureen Beal, CEO, summed up this year’s event, “This has been a IN THIS ISSUE... wonderful experience for the National Van Lines family.

  • Capitol Christmas Tree Project Launches Statewide Art Competition Selected Art Will Become Part of National Collection
    Capitol Christmas Tree Project Launches Statewide Art Competition Selected art will become part of national collection Colville, WA – As part of Washington’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree 2013 project, the Colville National Forest, Choose Outdoors and the ArtsWA (the Washington State Arts Commission) are sponsoring a statewide art competition to select an official painting of a Tree for the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree effort. Every year since 1970, a Christmas tree has been presented to the United States Congress from a national forest and is known as "The People's Tree.” In honor of this occasion, the Colville National Forest will host a statewide, juried art exhibition to select an official artwork to represent the 2013 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree (CCT). “We encourage Washington artists to submit an entry. The selected artwork will receive exposure throughout the state as well as nationally. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase Washington's talented artists!" said Laura Jo West, Colville National Forest Supervisor. Traditionally, the official CCT artwork is presented to the Chief of the Forest Service and will hang in his office for one year. The artwork will ultimately be exhibited in "The Tree Gallery" adjacent to the Chief of the Forest Service's office in the Yates Building, as part of the Forest Service’s permanent national collection of previous CCT art winners. The winning artwork will be honored at Capitol Christmas Tree festivities in Washington D.C. in the beginning of December. The theme of this year’s CCT is "Sharing Washington’s Good Nature." Artists are encouraged to consider the theme to conceptualize the vision of a 88-foot tall Engelmann Spruce destined for the Nation's Capitol Building.
