How Dave got lost in a Manitoba forest in search of the perfect Christmas tree
The provincial government allows Manitobans to buy a permit for $10 and chop down their own evergreens for the holidays. Dave Reede emerged from a forest east of Winnipeg on Monday with a big grin and a balsam fir in tow after losing his way for a couple hours. Yvette Brault wasn't impressed with her husband's disappearing act, but was nonetheless happy he found the "special" tree he was looking for.
