D Invite to Chan Day Arboretumlb
INVITATION TO CHANHASSEN DAY AT THE ARBORETUM, AUGUST 26
I cordially invite all city residents to the first annual "Chanhassen Day" at the Minnesota
Landscape Arboretum on Thursday, August 26. Arboretum admission will be free throughout
the day for Chanhassen residents with valid identification, and the first 500 visitors will receive a
free watering wand and a copy of the book, Chanhassen: A Centennial History! I will be at
Chanhassen Day at 10:00 a.m. with a special welcome message, and complimentary coffee and
doughnuts for visitors. At the event, residents can:
· Discover 12 whimsical and imaginative treehouses and tree creations during the Totally
Terrific TreeHouses exhibition. Explore these one-of-a-kind treehouses at your own pace
with a Visitor Guide and free Discovery Guide for kids.
· Take a free, guided walking tour of the Arboretum's most popular display gardens and part
of the TreeHouses exhibit.
· Hop aboard the Trumpet Creeper Tram for a motorized, guided tour of Three-Mile Drive
and part of the TreeHouses exhibit.
· Visit with Chanhassen Master Gardeners and Tree Care Advisors to get all the answers to
your gardening and tree questions.
· Enter a free drawing to win a beautiful tree donated by Tree Trust or a composter donated
by Carver County Environmental Services.
· Chat with representative from the Chanhassen's Environmental Commission and Park
and Recreation Commission as well as city staff.
I hope "Chanhassen Day" gives every resident the opportunity to experience one of this city's
most wonderful resources, a 1,000 acre jewel with breathtaking blossoms, natural woodlands,
wetlands and prairies and outstanding display gardens. Please make the time to come experience
this spectacular community asset. See you August 26!
