AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) – Boy Scouts Troop 80 has opened its annual Christmas Treeland, offering families a variety of fresh-cut trees while supporting scouting programs in the Amarillo area.
Treeland has been a longtime tradition for Troop 80, which brings in several types of Christmas trees each year from Oregon. Scouts help customers choose from Douglas, Fraser, Nordmann, Grand and Noble firs, with Noble being the most popular variety, according to Scout Leader Xander Luna.
