Arbor Day Celebration
Last Friday, students, town administrators, firefighters and other citizens met at Arrowhead Park for Grand Chute's Arbor Day Celebration. Braving the cold weather, and drizzly skies, students from Badger and Houdini Elementary schools helped plant trees at the park, and learned the value of greenspace. I was able to draw the names of six lucky students who went home with certificates good for one free tree. 150 trees were donated by:
VFW Post 8642
in memory of Albert "Joe" Ziglinski
Jeremy & Elena Hansen
in memory of Nolan Hansen
McMahon Associates
There are still plenty of trees available to Grand Chute residents. From the picture above, you can see these are very nice trees. If you would like a certificate, please call the town hall for more information.
