be a relatively simple process but with an inventory at this point of over 100,000 ornaments, it’s no simple task!
Over time, Stan decided that he wanted his Christmas Tree Farm to become world famous, so he decided to seek a world record for a Christmas tree stand collection. Stan had started collect- ing in 2005. By the time he broke the Guinness World Record in 2018, he had amassed over 1,200 different styles and types of Christmas tree stands, ranging from the late 1800s to current day stands. These stands are on display today in the Christmas shop. The official world record is listed here: https://www.guinness- worldrecords.com/world-records/484117-largest-collection- of-christmas-tree-stands. Today, they continue to maintain over 100,000 ornaments in their inventory and are working on regulating hours for the Christmas shop year-round. Over the years they have had many things to help expand their business such as Easter egg hunts, Santa appearances, participating in parades around the area, and maintaining an annual display at the nearby Montour DeLong fair. However, one of their favorite projects for the farm has been making wreaths for “Wreaths for Warriors”, a program that places wreaths on veterans’ headstones. Over the years they have been featured by different news outlets, radio, TV, local newspapers, and many other organizations that helped spread the word about this remarkable farm.
