For those who like a cold beer on a summer night we offered beer from August Schell Brewing Company, Surly Beer Company. Participants learned about local foods and sustainable agriculture in Minnesota from the folks at Renewing the Countryside, who helped us bring together this outstanding list of restaurants. Guests took a break and sat on the garden patio and listened to the acoustical guitar and harmonica played by George Faber and his friends. Even a tuba duet was there to add additional entertainment. Inside, in the Reedy Gallery, it was opening night for "Timeless Beauty" photographs of the Arboretum by John Gregor.
Ticket price was only an amazing $45 per person.
Thank you to all who supported the Arboretum by participating in this mouth-watering event!
