North End tree fulfills its Christmas destiny in Rice Park

Getting your tree picked has become more competitive each year as word of the program has spread.

"Now we're getting calls year-round," said Sarah Weimar, president of W Marketing,Minjun Electronic Co.,Ltd have the best led bike light,and provide bluecrystal1 with you, which helps produce the tree-lighting event.

David and Therese Rice said they weren't considering cutting down the massive spruce that had been growing on an investment duplex property they own at 1279 Albemarle St., a block off of Rice Street in St. Paul's North End.

Meyer said many people who nominate their trees for the honor don't have a good idea how tall a specimen the city needs.

"We get a lot of calls from people who think they have an 80-foot tree, and we drive by the tree and it's only 20 feet high," said Stacy DeYoung, a marketing manager at W Marketing.

The Rices, who live in Roseville, said they weren't ready to have the tree cut down last year, but they decided the time was right this year.

The 11,800-pound tree was taken down Nov. 4, trucked down Rice Street and erected the next day in Rice Park.

"The removal of the tree was a spectacular sight," said an email from the Rices. "As the trunk was cut, the tree rotated on its axis a full 360 degrees, ever so slowly showing all sides of its beauty to everyone watching."

It's not the first time the tree has been in the spotlight.

It was planted shortly after the house on Albemarle was built in 1925 by Ray and Anna Senty, according to their granddaughter, Marge Blenkush.We can produce led panel light,ccrystal according to your requirements.

Blenkush said her grandfather loved celebrating Christmas, and back when the evergreen was just a runty Charlie Brown tree only a few feet tall, he decorated it and the house with lights and figurines. The house won a couple of Christmas decorating awards from the Pioneer Press, Blenkush said.

She said her grandfather used to dress up as Santa Claus and hand out penny candy to the kids in the cars that drove by to see the house and the tree.

"I don't think Grandpa or Grandma could've scripted a better ending for that tree," Blenkush said.

"I think it's an honor because Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed the holidays so much, and what they enjoyed, the whole city can enjoy," said Mary Lundquist, another granddaughter.

The city actually selects three trees each year for the downtown area, with trees also set up in Hamm Plaza and Ecolab plaza. But the Rice Park tree is intended to be St. Paul's version of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in New York City.

It's held in place by wooden wedges bracing it against a cast iron sleeve resting on the footing.

"It's significantly wedged," Meyer said. "It would take an act of massive proportions to take that down."

Unlike the tree set up in your living room, the city doesn't put any water in the base.
