"We would love to dedicate their family tree as the 2024 Chicago Christmas as an additional honor and thank you to the family for their impact on our city," Holden-Shaddick's tree nomination letter said. After crews will remove the tree Friday, it will travel to Millennium Park on at flatbed truck Monday morning, the city said. According to officials, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and the Chicago Bureau of Forestry will collaborate to plant 12 new trees in Logan Square to replace the spruce removed.
On Nov. 22, the tree will be lit up in Millennium Park as part of Chicago's annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, with festivities kicking off at 6 p.m.Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weekly
