It is Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It is Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas

On November 8, Debbie Thomas of Carey Transport, one of Santa’s helpers, drove the sleigh to deliver the large fir tree to Fallon. Since then, Santa’s helpers who work for the City of Fallon have taken special care of the tree. They have gently unloaded the tree and set it up in its new home in the center of Maine Street. They made sure the tree was set up perfectly, as it has been since 1929. The annual Hometown Christmas Celebration and Christmas Tree Lighting is set for Friday, December 6, on Maine Street to kick off Fallon’s Christmas season.

This year’s tree came from Snowy Peak Christmas Tree Farm, owned by the Jones Family in Forest Hills, California. It is a White Fir that was planted in 1978 on the 80-acre tree farm by the original owners, the Wilson Family.

More details on the celebration will be available soon; stay tuned for all the times and events.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
