DET AILS INSIDE 18TH ANNUAL TREE SALE AND 4TH ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXPO Saturday, April 25, 1992 from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This will be the 18th consecutive year the City of Ramsey has sponsored a Tree Sale for its residents. The Tree Sale is a convenient way to obtain trees and plants suitable for Ramsey's soils and conditions. The Tree Sale provides a variety of trees at good values and planting trees in our City enhances the quality of life for all! In 1989 the City added an Environmental Exposition to this day's activity. The Environmental Expo is a local fun event intended to provide an information exchange between environmentally oriented businesses, agencies and residents. This year, both the Tree Sale and the Expo will be held at the Ramsey Municipal Center. Having both events at the same location will make it easier and more productive for families to participate. For instance, one family member may peruse the offerings at the Tree Sale and the rest might partake in the demonstrational plantings or the education afforded by certain Expo exhibitors.
