The giant tree stood for nearly 75 years on the soon-to-be-developed property owned by the John Colomer Family, in northwest suburban McHenry. The tree was one of three finalists narrowed down from more than 70 candidates during a citywide vote.
The tree will arrive and be placed at Daley Plaza on Friday night. The Colomer Family will help Mayor Richard M. Daley flip the switch during the 97th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at Daley Plaza on November 24.
