In the cold, sunny light Saturday morning, the Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw disgorged its holiday holdings: Christmas trees for Chicagoans.

The Coast Guard delivered a shipload of Christmas trees at Navy Pier that are destined, as always, for struggling families.

"That is what tradition brings to us and I think that over the past few years, dealing with COVID, a lot of us have realized how much peace and security and tradition. And with this Christmas tree tradition, this is fantastic and I am honored and blessed to be a part of it," said Timothy Tillman, Chicago Marine Safety Unit Commander for USCG.

Ward will be signing autographs and taking photos. Actor Yano Anaya, who played Farkus’s “crummie little toady” Grover Dill in the 1983 movie, made an unauthorized visit to the house on Sunday, Nov. 27.
