Where on the Arboretum grounds would you find this post? A good hint: You won’t see it from your car! For “extra credit,” tell us what the post and the school-house icon indicate.
 
Congratulations to our April winner Barbara Rathke.  She and her husband Jerome are now the proud owners of an Arboretum apple-green insulated logo picnic tote - an $85 value! Looks like spring and perfect for summer.

The next posted Destinations contest will take place on June 8.

    I thought this sign was near the big tree on the edge of Lake Marmo the one that is sooooo beautiful in the fall, when it is red with touches of green. I do not know what the school house represents, but have always been wondered about that.
