Ah ha! Happens Here: Minnetrista's 2016 Annual Campaign

Your pulse quickens, your eyes widen, and ah ha! The light bulb switches on!

We’ve all experienced the joy of an unanticipated discovery — a brief moment of exhilaration followed by a nod of the head and a knowing grin that creeps slowly across your lips.  Minnetrista specializes in ah ha! Moments. Our 40 acre campus is a giant canvas for discovery — a playground for the curious! Donors help throw the switch!

Supporters of Minnetrista’s annual fund help set the stage for . . .

• a family discovering a new board game together in Betty’s Cabin,

• kindergartners exploring the orchard with a visit from Johnny Appleseed,

• grandparents sharing a special memory with their grandkids as they describe how they used a familiar object from the Minnetrista Heritage Collection,

• neighbors exchanging gossip (!) over coffee and pastries at the Farmers Market,

• or friends laughing at each other’s unique glass art creations!

Each year, Minnetrista’s calendar is packed full of ah ha! moments for visitors of all ages!This summer friends and neighbors will flock to the Farmers Market, families will journey over the rainbow to the land of Oz, kids will muddy their feet in the nature area, music will fill the evening air, and beautiful little faeries will wander the gardens – just a few of the ah ha! moments certain to delight Minnetrista visitors.
