Bring One for the Chipper

Join the tradition and give a gift to nature this holiday season!  Keep Roswell Beautiful invites you to celebrate the 22nd annual “Bring One for the Chipper” and recycle your Christmas tree after the holidays.

As part of a statewide effort to reuse Christmas trees, Keep Roswell Beautiful has joined with sponsors The Home Depot, 11 Alive, The Davey Tree Expert Company, Keep Georgia Beautiful, Ferry-Morse Seed Company, Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell, Starbucks, and Super Target to sponsor the “Bring One for the Chipper” program.

Roswell residents are invited to bring their trees to one of the two Home Depot locations in Roswell on Saturday, January 7, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  The two locations are on Holcomb Bridge Road in Holcomb Woods Shopping Center and Woodstock Road across from Publix.  Trees will be chipped into mulch and will be available for delivery to the public by Davey Tree.  Residents are asked to please not drop off trees prior to the 7th of January.

In appreciation of their recycling efforts, participants will also receive seed packets courtesy of Ferry-Morse Seed Company, while supplies last.

Last year, more than 8,000 trees were collected in Roswell.

Great news. It appears that Santa is on schedule and is heading across the Atlantic Ocean as we write this. So it may be time to get the cookies and milk ready and get the kids tucked into their beds for the night. Santa is on his way to the Roswell area, so be ready.

If you’re one of those people who have actually lit a fire in their fireplace in this warm weather, make sure you put it out before Santa arrives. He never likes it when his britches get singed.

Also, if you want to keep up to date on Santa’s progress, click here for the Santa Tracker.

And as an added bonus, you can now track Santa on your iPhone or Android phone. There’s an app for that!

Happy Holidays from the team here at AllAboutRoswell.com.

Day after Thanksgiving can only mean one thing. #1 LSU vs #3 Arkansas. OK, maybe two things. It’s also Black Friday.

For some savvy Roswell shoppers it’s time to assault the stores on what has become known as Black Friday. Now while you may be looking to take advantage of the latest deals, keep in mind that not all deals are found in the stores.

Another option is in the Roswell real estate market. Home prices have been reduced and interest rates are phenomenal. These kind of deals are going to be hard to beat in the stores or even online. To make your Black Friday shopping spree, easier, we’ve compiled up-to-date lists of Roswell short sales as well as foreclosures in Roswell.

If you’re interested in taking advantage of the Roswell Black Friday deals in the real estate market, be sure to contact us for your free buyer consultation.

In this holiday favorite, Charles Dickens shows us Ebenezer Scrooge as he falls asleep in his dingy, cold quarters on Christmas Eve.

A traditional holiday classic for the entire family, guaranteed to fill you with the Christmas spirit and warm your heart.

The former artistic director of Kudzu Playhouse, Wally Hinds, knows a lot about “A Christmas Carol.” He has been producing, directing and acting in the show in Roswell since 1991. This year’s production will once again feature Brink Miller as Ebenezer Scrooge, who has been playing the part in Roswell every Christmas for 16 years.
