The Decatur Minute

OK, go ahead and vent.  Get it out of your system and then just relax and enjoy the beautiful sight of holiday decorations in downtown Decatur.  Yes, the holiday decorations are going up and yes it’s a bit earlier than we had scheduled.  As we’ve explained before, we are a relatively small account for holiday decorating installers so we are given a window of opportunity and then see where we fall in their schedule.  This year we ended up on the front end.  Hey, at least it’s after Halloween!  We’re adding a few more lights this year to some of the trees and to the Bandstand and have plans to add to the lights over the next few years expanding around downtown and the Oakhurst business district.  The new lights are energy saving LED lights and bring a nice glow to downtown.  So go ahead and prepare yourselves because the holiday decorations will be installed by the end of the week.  Take a deep breath and just relax and enjoy the beauty of the decorations in the evening and don’t forget that the Terrific Thursday events start this week.  Visit all of your favorite local business owners and give them support.  They really appreciate it.
