Stop by La Mesa's Centennial Legacy Park at 1 p.m. Thursday to see trees get wrapped in yarn, or yarn bombed.
Three trees in the park, which sits at a crossroads of Cypress Avenue, La Mesa Boulevard and Allison Avenue, will be decorated by volunteer knitters and Carol Fuller's Yarn and Thread Expressions.
About $90,000 has been collected of $160,000 needed to fulfill the vision of the legacy project mini park.
"The site location, to be called 'The Lookout' after the original name of La Mesa Boulevard, was chosen by the La Mesa City Council to honor La Mesa's 100th birthday," a city press release said. "It will feature a gazebo, the Helix Aspersa snail and under the city seal a time capsule will be placed. Artists Mary Lynn, Jess and Amy Dominguez from La Mesa have created a beautiful design which will be installed once all donated funds have been raised."
