The Naperville Park District is seeking the donation of a large evergreen tree to be placed on the Riverwalk for the 2012 holiday season. The tree will be set in the Dandelion Fountain, near the corner of Jackson Avenue and Webster Street, and traditionally is in place by the third week in November.
Preferably, the donated tree will be a minimum of 15 feet tall, although previous trees have been around the 20-foot mark. A spruce or fir is preferred. Additionally, the tree to be donated needs to be located in the front yard so a truck can easily access it and haul it away.
Any individual or family that has a tree to be considered for donation should contact Chuck Papanos at (630) 848-3590 or at cpapanos@napervilleparks.org.
Editor?s Note: This photo taken in November 2010 is one of our all-time favorite photos of the Dandelion Fountain in autumn. During the holiday season, a traditional? evergreen is placed here, welcoming visitors to the Civic Plaza along the Riverwalk.
