Riverwood Christmas Tree Lot Brings Fraser Firs To Sandy Springs Residents

The school's baseball team will open the lot on Friday, Nov. 28 between the football and baseball fields.

A Sandy Springs tradition will once again return the day after Thanksgiving.

The Riverwood International Charter School baseball team will open its Christmas tree lot on Friday, Nov. 28. Residents will be able to purchase fresh Fraser Firs from North Carolina.

While many businesses and families pre-ordered trees, plenty of trees will be available for walk-up sales. Each tree will receive a fresh cut at the lot, and the baseball team will once again offer delivery for a small fee within a ten mile radius of the school.
