Papa Bob's Mountain Fresh Christmas Trees

To all our friends, acquaintances, and good people, I, Gary M. Craig, had every intention of re-opening Papa Bob's Mt. Fresh Christmas Trees this season, 2016, as I had written last year, however I am unable to do so for the following reasons: the person (Norm Osborne-doing business as the Pinery), who I offered to run, and did run Papa Bob's in 2014, and who leased directly from the Domenigoni family in 2015, is also leasing the land from the Domenigoni family this season, 2...Continue reading

To all our friends, acquaintances, and good people For those of you who do not know or were not aware our sweet, wonderful, kind, beautiful and loving Mom went to heaven on December 12th, 2013 and for the rest of the 2013 season our fabulous workers and good friends finished the 2013 season for us, and although I know our Mom and Dad (Papa Bob himself - who passed away in 1981 and whom I named my tree lot after) would have ...wanted me to operate last year (2014) I was just not able to, so I asked Norm Osbourne who has tree lots in San Diego county (named The Pinery) if he would like to operate Papa Bob's Tree Lot as Papa Bob's with the same name, workers, quality, prices, equipment and layout. He said yes and ran the tree lot last year (2014) and although some of my requests of him to run the tree lot the "Papa Bob's way" were respected, others were not, so if anyone was upset, disappointed, or unhappy I - Gary M. Craig, owner of Papa Bob's - am truly sorry and sincerely apologize if that happened. And I want to let all our friends and customers know that again in 2015 Papa Bob's will not be open. Although I know that my Mom and my Dad would want me to be open this year (our Mom has always enjoyed being there so much) it is still too hard for me to do so, and although I know it will still be hard next year (and the years after) I have made a promise to both my Mom and my Dad that Papa Bob's will be open in 2016, (My Mom has always been so proud of our tree lot and she would always tell me "your Dad is too honey, we just can't see him being proud of you"). So I want all our friends and supporters to know that Papa Bob's will be open in 2016 with all of the same prices, quality, people, service, equipment, and layout that you are familiar with and although Norm Osbourne (as The Pinery) is selling Christmas trees on the land that Papa Bob's has graciously been allowed to use the last 10 years (and I appreciate everyone's loyalty to Papa Bob's last year) there is absolutely NO association between The Pinery and Papa Bob's or Norm Osbourne and myself (Gary M. Craig) this season 2015. Our family wants to thank everyone for your support and kind thoughts and in our Mom and Dad's name and spirit wish everyone a happy and joyous Christmas season. - The entire and extended Craig family - We had this posted at the tree lot last year (2014), we know our Mom likes what we wrote. Please read this and look at the pictures we put up of our Mom and Dad. Thank you - the entire and extended Craig family.
