A tree dubbed Fat Albert is coming to West Virginia
The 17-foot blue spruce whose catalog
nickname comes from the cartoon character grew in Molly Gill's yard in Pratt
for 18 years before it was donated for public viewing at the Capitol complex in
Charleston
State Department of Administration
spokeswoman Diane Holley-Brown says the tree will be on display at the north
fountain at the Capitol this holiday season. Another tree donated from a Charleston home will adorn the south side of the Capitol, and
a third tree from Fayette
County
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin will lead a lighting
ceremony Dec. 2 as part of the annual Joyful Night celebration.
