LANSDALE, Pa. – The pandemic has been forcing people to stay inside to stay safe from the coronavirus. But with cabin fever setting in, some outdoor industries are seeing a boom in business.
The pandemic is pushing many people to start new outdoor traditions, like cutting down a real Christmas tree together. “Here there is a sense of normality,” said Jay Bustard, a partner of Bustard’s Christmas Trees in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
Bustard’s Christmas Trees, a family business, has been around for three generations. “This our 91st year. People get here and they pick a tree out.
And then one of our employees will help them, they'll tie it, shake it to get any dirt and whatever off.Then, they'll bail it up and tie it on the top of that person's.
