Standing outside the Mignone family’s home in Clark, Union County Freeholder Vice Chairman Bruce H. Bergen (right) thanked Michael Mignone for the donation of a 30-foot tall blue spruce from his front lawn that will be this year’s Christmas tree in the rotunda at the Union County Courthouse in Elizabeth. The public is invited to view the tree on weekdays during the holiday season. (Photo by Jim Lowney/County of Union)
