Back for another year, the annual Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Co. officially kicks off Dec. 1 at the Country Corner Market, located on Ninth Street and Barnegat Avenue.

Carolina balsams and Fraser firs are the highlight of this year’s tree sale. Trees will be available for sale from 5 to 7 p.m. weekdays and from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday until they sell out. All proceeds benefit the fire company and are allocated toward operating costs.
