1000 Balsam Fir Trees were on sale at the 6th annual BT and Home Depot Tree Sale in #Toronto. Breakfast Television was broadcasting live from Yonge-Dundas Square as hosts Kevin Frankish, Dina Pugliese (abover), Jennifer Valentyne and Frank Ferragine put on their show and were well on their way to sell out all the trees to raise money for the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Minimum donations of $10 got you a six to eight foot Christmas tree, perfect for the home or office, while you could watch the CityTV BT hosts, listen to music from the Panache Community Steel-Band and get some free hot chocolate or coffee. The official event is on Friday, December 14, 2012 from 5:30 am to 10:30 am but they intend to stay on site until all the trees are sold. The biggest lineup was for the chance to win prizes. I watched Kevin and Dina start a countdown for two contestants in a tree trimming contest and the decorations were flying.
See more after the jump.
