A worker uses a plumb line to make sure Westfield Downtown Plaza's  Christmas tree stands straight. It was delivered by crane early this morning.  The tall tree was lowered into a hole in the concrete in front of the plaza.   Huge planks of wood are used as shims to straighten the trunk. This worker walked the circumference of the tree, using his plumb line from all angles, to ensure the tree stands upright.   This year will be a brighter holiday for Sacramento. The first-ever Carnival... katigarner Cory Cunningham comment-18256 2009-11-25T04:03:21Z 2009-11-25T04:03:21Z Come and hear the John Skinner Big Band on Friday afternoon from 4-6 at the tree-lighting ceremony. Great big band music and christmas hits. The John Skinner Band is a Sacramento institution so come on out and join the festivities!!

What a waste too to let a tree grow to that size as they put up at the mall, only to have it cut down. Living trees that size add more to our oxygen and environment than dead trees. Also America needs to use hemp instead of trees for its paper products. michellefromhermac 2009-11-21T03:40:12Z
