Fanciful Tree Circus to take root in Gilroy

The Tree Circus collection of novelty shaped trees has been purchased by Mr. Bonfante of Gilroy, who owns Nob Hill Foods. He has taken over care of them which had been lacking and will be moving them to Tree Haven on heckler Pass to be highlighted as a tourist attraction. Residents of Scotts Valley are both relieved that someone will take ownship but also feel the loss of something that once was uniquely Scotts Valley’s.
