By GLENN KAHL The Bulletin The Hitt family of four in Ripon makes a weekend adventure out of picking their perfect Christmas tree making a trek to Jackson in the nearby foothills. Ripon was served by one sales lot run by the Ripon High School JROTC, however that has gone by the wayside this year with one local grocery store being the only location selling trees. Deanna Hitt said she went the “simplistic” route this year looking for tree she can most enjoy with its shape and smell that fills the air of her Ripon home.
