SuperGrow - Arbor Day Celebration and Lunch January 8 10am - Noon

Campers are invited to join in the City of Grapevine’s 24th Arbor Day Celebration on our campground Saturday morning, January 8, 2011, at 10am. The program is presented by the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Commitee.

Regional Forester Courtney Blevins with the Texas Forest Service will honor Grapevine as an official Tree City USA. Super Bowl XLV’s Super Grow Program is building partnerships with Metroplex cities to enhance local air quality for years to come. The youth-oriented NFL SLANT-45 Program has donated 45 1.5-inch Elm trees to be planted at The Vineyards Campground.

Representatives of the Super Bowl XLV NFL Host Committee, Texas State Legislators, City and local officials, Keep Grapevine Beautiful, and local Boy Scout troops will all participate in the 'shovel and hands-on planting' of these new trees. All of the Vineyards campers are invited to join the group and enjoy a hot dog lunch at the Pavilion following the ceremony.

In addition, there will be a golf cart shuttle over to the newly finished cabins for public tours during lunch. Special thanks to Texas Trees Foundation, Texas Forest Service, Moore Tree Care, National Foodball League and the SuperGrow XLV program for the opportunity to received these trees.
