Every years, Lowell hosts the biggest tree contest. And every year, residents enter their trees.

Now, as I see it, trees don’t grow very much from year to year. So, if your tree won last year, chances are pretty good that it will win this year and next year. In fact, unless your tree dies, the contest will be a sure thing.

So, what is the point of the contest? I am not really sure. Maybe they should also have a biggest rock contest.
