A sure sign of the holidays has made its first appearance. Thursday, the TaxSlayer Center in Moline put up this year's Christmas Tree, in the circle outside along River Drive.
The 35-foot tree was donated by John Abbott of Milan, in memory of his mother Helen Abbott who died in 2012.
Once it's decorated, the tree will have about 30,000 lights, and will be lit on Saturday November 17th during the annual Lighting on the Commons ceremony.
