Communities at Work: 'Tis the season November 27, 2009
This season marks the 20th year Bob Meckley has brought holiday cheer to Craig residents. You won’t see him dressed up in a big red suit with a long white beard, but take a tour through the showroom of his business, Tunies & Such Nursery & Landscaping, 690 Yampa Ave., and the holiday aroma fills the air in the form of pine and fir trees. Meckley prepares the trees in his showroom to be ready for any home’s living room. Meckley said he should sell 60 to 65 trees, which are available now, throughout the season. There is a wide variety in types of trees and price range. No matter the kind or size of tree you want, chances are Tunies & Such has it available.
Bob Meckley, owner of Tunies & Such Nursery & Landscaping, stands next to a Nordman Fir in his Christmas tree showroom at 690 Yampa Ave. Meckley is celebrating 20 years of supplying Christmas trees to Craig residents.
Bob Meckley drills up into the base of a Christmas tree behind his showroom at Tunies & Such Landscaping & Nursery. Drilling the base prevents the tree from splitting when inserting the spike on the tree stand.
