These are the people who let us know they believe in the mission by helping out with $3 bucks per month, and that gains them early access to new episodes plus bonus episodes that no one else gets to hear. JEFF: A very heartfelt thank you to all of our patreon patrons who make this podcast happen. Happy holidays to all of our legendary listeners, thanks for joining us on our mission to chronicle every legend in New England. If you give us about ten minutes, we’ll give you something strange to talk about today. JEFF: Hi, I’m Jeff Belanger, and no matter what you celebrate, happy holidays and welcome to episode 122 of the New England Legends podcast. JEFF: There is! One that’s going to take us to Windsor Locks, Connecticut, Ray, to the site of New England’s first Christmas tree.
Wait… lemme guess… there’s a legend here. RAY: Huh, I guess I haven’t given it too much thought. JEFF: Did you ever wonder why you put up a Christmas tree, Ray? RAY: Yup, the Auger family Christmas tree has something for everyone.
You got some New England Legends bracelets on some of the branches, looks a like a bag of Cheetos leftover from this past summer’s redneck party, I see a couple of cans of beer in there. JEFF: Your Christmas tree is looking pretty sweet. *A note on the text: Please forgive punctuation, spelling, and grammar mistakes.
