Minneapolis Aquatennial

The Twin Cities are always hopping during the summer. Each little town has their own days. For example the town I live in has Duk Duk Days. There are softball games, fireworks, and many other activities. Friday kicked off The Aquatennial. To kick off "the 10 best days of Summer" the have a block party. It is the "largest" free outdoor concert in the Twin Cities. The music itself wasn't all that great but the conversation was wonderful. Before we headed to the block party we stopped by a rose garden near Lake Harriet.

This is the second oldest public rose garden in the United States and was
designed by the second Park Superintendent Theodore Wirth. Construction of the
garden occurred during 1907-08. An official AARS (All America Rose Selections)
test rose garden was added in 1946. The Heffelfinger fountain graces the upper
patio at the rose garden.

Below you will find pictures of the Heffelfinger fountain and the Phelps fountain located in the Lyndale Park Rose Garden.
