It won't be long before you'll be seeing evergreen trees making their way here and there to become centerpieces at upcoming holiday festivities. But 13 large spruce trees at Minot State University are getting set to make a trek across campus right now. The trees are located on the college's corner of North Broadway and University Avenue and will be replanted on the northwest side of the MSU Amphitheater.

The plan is to move the trees next Monday depending on the weather.  « Less
