Tilghman Island Tries For World Record 'Christmas Tree'

 
TILGHMAN — Who said a Christmas tree has to be green? Why not a rusty red? the Tilghman Island community asked. And why not make it out of crab pots and place it at the base of the Tilghman Island bridge for everyone to see?

Spearheaded by Kelley Cox, the executive director and president of Phillips Wharf Environmental Center, with overwhelming effort from the community, Tilghman Island is erecting its first crab pot Christmas tree.

“An associate of mine brought it to my attention that a town in Washington state claimed to have the world’s largest. I thought, well, we could do that,” Cox said.
