Ronda Sweetman of Pierre has donated a tree for the second year in a row. The tree was brought to Fort Pierre yesterday (Mon.) morning by A-G-E Construction and set up in a special manhole at the junction of Main Avenue and Deadwood Street. Fort Pierre city workers will be attaching lights and trimming any unwanted branches this week.
