Our Grill Masters Tim Rickerson and Frank Saup did a TREE-MENDOUS job of providing lunch for not only the climbers, volunteers and spectators, but also for the people who were attending other events at Cantigny Park! Thanks to April at the Illinois Arborist Association for donating the cost of the food, as it helped to raise $340.00 for the contribution to the Tree Research & Education Endowment Fund.

We would like to thank Cantigny Gardens and Park in Wheaton, IL for their enthusiasm, ideas and help in making this year’s event memorable.
