Christmas decorations are coming out and going up in Decatur.
City employees and park-rec department workers began the process this week and need to have it completed by Friday, Nov. 20, according to city Street\/Sanitation Superintendent Matt Schultz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe appreciate everyone’s patience as we work to bring a little extra holiday cheer to Decatur,\u201d a parks department announcement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also ask for your help in keeping our decorations looking beautiful throughout the holiday season. A tremendous amount of time, hard work, and care goes into decorating our city, and we want everyone to be able to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are asked to respect the decorations, to refrain from climbing on and\/or moving any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis not only takes away from everyone’s enjoyment, but also creates additional work and expense for our community,\u201d the department said. \u201cLet’s work together to keep Decatur merry, bright, and beautiful this Christmas season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some holiday events are coming up in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
