Greetings! Have you visited this year's Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC? Or are you planning a visit this Spring? 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Cherry Blossom Festival. eParks is offering a variety of cherry blossom themed items. You can check out the selection in our Parks of Greater Washington, DC store. Meet Paddles My name is Paddles. I am a beaver and I like to chew on trees. But, I learned that the trees in the National Mall and Memorial Parks are special. They need to be protected. So, I never chew on trees in the parks and I help the National Park Rangers tell other people not to hurt the trees.     The National Cherry Blossom Festival is being celebrated now through April 27, 2012. Welcome Spring with these beautiful blooms!   Sincerely,   eParks.com Eastern National
