[0:00] Well, greetings everybody. This is Jim [0:02] Huffland, your Adina Mayor, and this is [0:04] a mayor's minute for Wednesday, July [0:06] 23rd, 2025. [0:09] The Atlanta Garden Council and its [0:11] Ketoale Garden Club donated money to the [0:14] city to construct what's called a [0:16] labyrinth at Arnison Acres Park, giving [0:18] the community another place to sit and [0:20] relax, meditate, calm your nerves. The [0:24] beautiful 30-foot concrete circle with a [0:26] labyrinth design stained in the concrete [0:29] was placed at the south end of the [0:30] formal garden of the park on West 70th [0:33] Street just a few weeks ago. The [0:35] labyrinth completes the Arnerson Acres [0:37] Park design with the gazebo at one end, [0:39] fountain in the center, and the [0:42] tranquility garden and labyrinth at the [0:43] far end to the south. A semicircle of 10 [0:47] crab apple trees representing the number [0:49] of clubs in the garden council at the [0:50] time they were planted forms the [0:52] backdrop for the labyrinth. The [0:55] labyrinth has a medieval design to it. [0:57] It has a charcoal color outline and a [0:59] path in pale yellow to match the [1:01] fountain. The Atlanta Garden Council [1:04] will dedicate the labyrinth, the ADA [1:06] trails attached to it, and the [1:08] tranquility garden itself 5 to 7:00 p.m. [1:11] tomorrow. And I think the program starts [1:12] about right at 5:00. So, make sure [1:14] you're there for the program. That's [1:16] Thursday, July 24th, 2025, 5 to 7:00 [1:19] p.m. Mary Brindle, our former colleague [1:22] on the city council, and her husband [1:23] Ralph will signify the opening and [1:25] ribbon cutting by giving an alpine horn [1:28] concert on the new labyrinth. So, make [1:30] sure you bring your own lawn chair so [1:32] you can enjoy every aspect of this great [1:34] dedication. The garden council will [1:36] provide refreshments. Whether allowing, [1:38] the refreshments will be in the gazebo. [1:40] Otherwise, the refreshments will be in [1:42] the terrace room of the Arnison House, [1:44] which of course is in Arnison Acres [1:46] Park. The labyrinth is a great addition [1:48] to the park and to our community, and [1:51] I'll be proud to attend tomorrow's [1:52] dedication, and I hope to see you there, [1:54] too. This is Jim Huffin, and that's your [1:56] mayor's minute for Wednesday, July 23rd, [1:58] 2025. I hope you have a great rest of [2:00] the week, and we'll see you in the last [2:02] week in July.
