CUSTER, S.D. (KELO.com) – The holiday spirit made its way to Custer last night as the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree made a special stop in the community during its journey to Washington, D.C.!
Community members gathered for a chance to see the People’s Tree up close and take part in a cherished holiday tradition.
Visitors were invited to sign the banner traveling with the tree, leaving their names and a little piece of Custer behind as part of this special journey.
The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, often called the People’s Tree, travels across the country each year, bringing communities together along the way before reaching the nation’s capital.
The journey isn’t over yet for South Dakota!
The People’s Tree is scheduled to make its next stop in Mitchell on November 12, giving another community the opportunity to be part of this special holiday tradition.
Custer’s stop offered a memorable opportunity for residents to celebrate the spirit of community, connection and Christmas.
As the People’s Tree continues its journey to Washington, D.C., it carries with it signatures and well wishes from communities across the country — including right here in Custer, South Dakota!
