■If you helped with roadside clean-up the two-year Fraser fir saplings are available for pick up. Fraser firs are the preferred tree for Christmas trees. A container with individually wrapped trees is at the Epsom Fire Station. The container is located outside the backdoor which is the entrance to the Function Room. Please do not ask for help. Just help yourself. We will resupply as needed over the next week. Thank you for caring about Epsom and doing your part. Please let the Epsom Conservation Commission know what you accomplished and the commission is sorry the event did not go as planned. We are all dealing with changing plans during the pandemic. Be safe, be smart.
