Christmas TreesEvery year the Windsor Jaycees sell Christmas Trees in the Windsor Shopping Center parking lot (the Ocean State Job Lot plaza). The Jaycees set up a site under the Windsor Shopping Center sign. Some of our customers tell us that they've been buying their tree from us for a decade or more. We thank them for their continued support.
Sales typically begin a week after thanksgiving and continue until we are sold out. We are open Wednesday thru Friday 5 pm to 830 pm, Saturday 10 am to 830 pm and Sunday 12 pm to 5 pm.
Come on by and help support the Windsor Community by purchasing your Christmas Tree from the Windsor Jaycees. Proceeds from Tree sales go to our scholarship fund for local students.
