Ohio Christmas trees will be sent to military units abroad

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A holiday tradition will bring more than 100 Ohio-grown Christmas trees to overseas military units.

The Ohio Christmas Tree Association has been delivering trees to troops stationed abroad since 1995.

Operation Evergreen includes decorations prepared for the donated trees by schoolchildren, churches and veterans’ groups.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture inspects the trees at the agency’s headquarters in Reynoldsburg in suburban Columbus to make sure they’re free from insects and disease.

Rock Hall caps year of changes with ‘Long Live Rock’ sign

CLEVELAND (AP) — Officials at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland are capping off a year of improvements with the installation of 7-foot-high block letters that say, “Long Live Rock.”

The signage was officially dedicated Thursday outside the iconic rock hall along the shore of Lake Erie.

Hall officials say there have been a number of enhancements this year that have helped improve visitors’ experience.

Among the enhancements touted by rock hall officials are a new atrium with artist images and a redesigned museum store.

There’s also a new permanent exhibit that chronicles how live concerts are produced, and outdoor improvements that include a stage for musical acts during Cleveland’s warmer months.
