A live oak tree is moved into "The Tree and the Poodle" restaurant and bar on State Street next to the Orpheum Theatre in Madison. The McDonald Tree Experts moved the tree five miles from the Burns Farm on Darwin Road to its new location. Edmund Hobbins, president of Dog Tree Limited Corporation which will run the new cafe, watches as the main trunk of the tree is moved through the front door.
