The 2012 St. Paul Winter Carnival is looking for a few old trees.

Organizers of the annual winter celebration plan to decorate Rice Park in downtown St. Paul with donated Christmas trees for this year’s carnival, which runs from Jan. 26 through Feb. 5.

Bring trees to 85 West Water Street, on the south side of Harriet Island, through Jan. 22 to be included in the festivities.

For more information on donating, call the St. Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation at 651-223-4700 or go to winter-carnival.com.
