ALTOONA, Iowa (KCCI) – The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree visited the Hawkeye State on it’s trek east to Washington D.C, KCCI reported.
The tree was available for viewing at Altoona’s Bass Pro Shop.
The tree was originally harvested in Alaska and reached the lower 48 states about a week and a half ago. It’s stopped at other places in addition to Altoona on the 4,000 mile journey.
