Arbor Day
Rochester Public Utilities (RPU), Maier Forest and Tree, Rochester Park and Recreation, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources hold an annual Arbor Day celebration on the last Friday in April every year.
The celebration is held between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. in downtown Rochester and is open to the public. The festivities include live music, lunch, free trees, various vendors, and many family activities. Winners of the elementary school Arbor Day poster contest are also announced.
Mark your calendars for the 2012 celebration, which will take place on Friday, April 27, 2012 at Mayo Park (new location!).
This year's winning Arbor Day poster contest winner was Nathan Eberhart, a second grade student in Mrs. Ferrara's class at Churchill Elementary.
