On behalf of the City Council and the Environmental Commission I would like to t>~
congratulate all the winners of this year's Arbor Day Poster Contest. The city has '
been sponsoring this contest for nine years in order to express our commitment to
trees in our community. Every year, the local 5th graders are invited to submit their
drawings based on an annual theme. The theme for 2008 was "Trees are Terrific,
I nside and Out".
The city would like to thank all the 5th graders at St. Hubert's School and Bluff Creek
Elementary School for their wonderful drawings. The city would also like to thank
Lotus Lawn and Garden for their generous donation to the grand prize winner of a
potted tree of their choice.
Please visit the Chanhassen Library's Wilder Room over the next couple of weeks to
see all of the posters submitted. The framed winning picture will hang in city hall
along with the past winners.
The runners-up are receiving potted trees that they can pick up on May 3 at the
Arbor Day celebration. Please come forward when your name is called:
