SAN ANTONIO – Free trees? Yes, please! Six hundred vehicles lined up early Saturday to claim a free tree at the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department’s Jammin’ Jams event.
The annual fruit and nut tree adoption event happened at 8 a.m. at Nelson Wolff Stadium. One tree was given to each vehicle while supplies lasted.
