[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.
