One of the City of Holbrook’s holiday preparations is readying the community Christmas tree cut from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Assistant City Manager Randy Sullivan (foreground) keeps a close eye on the tree as city employee Pat Serna maneuvers it into position with a backhoe. The two men, along with city employee Tim Kelley, spent the day in Heber cutting the tree before bringing it to Gillespie Park, where it will be adorned with colorful holiday lights.
