Julgran
Friday, December 10, 4-6 p.m.
To usher in the winter season and holiday spirit, the Linnaeus Arboretum will be hosting its third annual Julgran celebration in the Melva Lind Interpretive Center. This year's Julgran, which means "Christmas Tree" in Swedish, will once again be highlighted by 
a cookie contest with hundreds of cookies to sample! (Interested participants, see below.) The contest results will be announced at 4:30, followed by live music courtesy of our own talented Gustavus students, and hot cider (as well as the requisite milk) may be enjoyed by the Interpretive Center's log fireplace. Or, if the weather is nice, stand by the outdoor fire pit and roast a marshmallow or two.
For more information, call 507-933-6181 or send email to arboretum@gustavus.edu.
