Sara‘s Town
Episode 28:
Valley View Christmas Trees
and
the Hemet-San Jacinto Christmas Parade
For this year’s Christmas episode, Sara visited the Valley View Christmas Tree farm to see how the business and operation works.
Sara learned all about the Christmas Tree business while filming her 28th episode of Sara’s Town.
From prepping to flocking to shipping, Sara had a great time learning the ins-and-outs of tree farming as well as the business of growing, preparing and selling Christmas trees.
During her visit, Sara quizzed manager Mike about bringing joy to the season for the tree farm’s customers.
Mike’s wife Viviana – who Sara learned was not related to Ethel Mertz – taught Sara about the different types of evergreens available.
With Mike and Vivi’s help, Sara even takes home her very own Nordmann Pine to decorate and illuminate for the holidays.
Sharp-eyed viewers of this episode of Sara’s Town can get a few glimpses of the production efforts that go on behind the scenes of producing Sara’s Town.
This month’s episode of Sara’s Town also features the Hemet-San Jacinto Christmas parade with a Suessian theme, complete with classic and muscle cars, Jeeps, Fire trucks, Santas, Grinches and more!
