The Deep River/Chester Lions sale is documented at Deep River Hardware, serving the two communities from one Deep River lot. Its older municipal announcement described Connecticut-grown precut Fraser, concolor and Douglas fir and blue spruce, five to eight feet tall.
That announcement’s $45 price and November 27 opening were for an earlier sale supporting a January senior dinner. They are useful background, not a current price or calendar. The Lions’ active club website still lists Christmas tree sales among its fundraisers, but does not publish the coming sale’s dates, prices, stock or exact lot entry. Check those arrangements with the host hardware before planning the trip.
