East Side neighbors — this one's for you and your family!

On Wednesday, October 28, Ramsey County is bringing a free Lead Testing and Community Resource Fair to Phalen Recreation Center, 4–7pm. It's simple: get tested, bring items from home to check for lead, and talk with local orgs about keeping your household safe.

Got imported spices, pottery, or toys lying around? Bring them along — testing is quick and results are immediate.

This is part of National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (Oct. 25–31), and we want to see the East Side show up strong. See you there!
