Following the event, attendees are welcome to stay for the Arboretum's Pizza Night with music, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Please note that pizza reservations must be made in advance through the Arboretum and are separate from this event: If you are planning to come to the farm stand event, you only need to "Order your Pizza" as the ribbon cutting covers general admission.
