There were 71 submissions of trees to be displayed in Millennium Park, but Thursday morning, a Norway Spruce grown by the Dorfler family from suburban Grayslake was chopped down as the winner.

The tree shoots up 62 feet high and will make it to Chicago Friday evening.

Curious about the process of what it takes to chop down a tree of that size and have it safely delivered a few dozen miles away?

WGN was there to capture video of the event, which honestly, was a bit less dramatic than one would hope.
