You really only get one shot at your 25th anniversary, and we wanted to get it right.
Yesterday was the final day in the 3-week run of our annual Festival of Trees. And with Free Family Day on Saturday, the last weekend was a wild one.
The events that have taken place over the past few weeks have been wonderful and memorable in every way. But the reason they were so great, so special, is that you made a point to come out and join us. You made the effort, despite the cold weather. You made the effort, despite the news about the economy. You made the effort because this place and everything that goes on inside it, means something to you. Well, to put it lightly, that means everything to us.
Those of you who were unable to make it out for the festival this year, you missed a great one. We could try to describe it in words, but words just wouldn't do it justice. It's an experience.
To quote the great poet Joyce Kilmer...
"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree"
