It’s that time of year…time to pick out the family Christmas tree. Our family has gone to a tree farm for years and cut down our own tree. When we moved from Penfield to Henrietta we had to find a new place to pick a tree since the place in Webster we had gone to for years was now 45 minutes away, a long way to drive with a tree tied to the top of our little Geo. So we had to search and we finally settled on one that is not very far from our home at all. It’s Remelt’s Tree Farm on East River Rd in Rush. They offer precut or cut your own trees in a variety of types of trees. What’s nice is they charge a flat fee depending on the type not on size. Since we have vaulted ceilings in our living room we usually were getting a 10 ft. tree for $25-30! They have hayrides out to the fields and saws to cut your tree, they’ll come pick you and your tree up and bring it out front where they will bale it for free and help you get it on your car if necessary. On certain weekends there are also free Trolley rides, operated by the New York Museum of Transportation.
This year we’re considering trying out Stokoe Farms, where we go for their pumpkin patch. They are 
opening this weekend on Friday from 9am-5pm. They too have hayrides and free baling, but in addition they are offering a straw fort, live Nativity scene, bonfire, and their Country Christmas Shop and Reindeer Reststop Restaurant. Open fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 9am-5pm, Nov 28th-Dec 21.
On opening day Santa Skydives in to check on his reindeer! It’s Friday Nov 28th at 1pm(raindate Nov 29th). Santa will also be there Dec 6th and 13th. Located at South Rd in Scottsville.
