If you are driving down Route Nine and going through Tuckerton at night you will see the floating Christmas tree on the lake across from the Tuckerton Seaport. At night the tree gives the impression it's floating on the water, well it kinda is.

 

 

How do they light this tree, which is in the middle of a lake? According to an APP.COM post....It began with a Girl Scouts project in 1961 which was put together by the late Peg Jacobi, a longtime former mayor, with her husband.  Mrs. Jacobi’s husband (Jake) discovered a way to run the electric lines under the water to light the tree. The tree sits on a floating dock in the lake. In 2016 the tree was dedicated to the memory of Peg Jacobi.
