Cardington Celebrates Arbor Day The Village of Cardington celebrated Arbor Day on April 22nd by planting a tree at the Cardington Elementary School.  Assisted by third graders at the school, a Sunset Maple purchased by Gleaners Chester Arbor was planted in front of the school by the Village of Cardington.  The Arbor Day celebration in Cardington has special meaning for area residents because the celebration was started in the aftermath of a tornado that struck the Village in 1981.
