Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. <br /> St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 <br /> Dear Governor Pawlenty, <br /> On behalf of the City of Pequot Lakes,the Pequot Lakes Park Board, and the Pequot <br /> Lakes Lions Club,I am formally asking that Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, be declared THE <br /> CHOKECHERRY CAPITOL OF MINNESOTA. <br /> For the past several years,our City and Lions Club have hosted a Chokecherry Festival <br /> each August, an event that has grown each year. While we have numerous chokecherry <br /> trees in our area,this May, for the first time,the Park Board will be selling 400 <br /> Chokecherry trees throughout the community, a sale that is to become an annual event. <br /> We have researched the title and find that, as of the present time, Minnesota has not <br /> declared a Chokecherry Capitol. Pequot Lakes would very much like to have this title— <br /> we will make Minnesota proud! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Nancy A. Adams <br /> Mayor <br /> Cc: Faye Tweed, President of the Park Board <br /> Molly Ring, Chair of the Lions Club <br /> Cathy Malecha, Council Liaison to the Park Board <br />
