We would love to see you there. 

Wrapped trees on Burleigh

Our thanks goes out to all those who participated in the Great Tree Wrap Experiment of 2010.  We put the wraps up on Wednesday morning and I will be taking them down tomorrow afternoon during the WHI meeting.  Hopefully, we will use them agian for future events.  If you are still interested in creating a tree wrap, please do.  I think we'll have more neighbors signing up after seeing how pretty it looked.
