CITY DECORATES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Downtown Midland.  Crews are hanging decorations along Wall Street today, Monday, November 19, 2007.  City workers will begin at Weatherford and work west to Garfield. 

136 wreaths, eight strands of garland, and a 15-foot snowman will help decorate the City.  A total of 170 man-hours will be spent hanging the decorations.

This is the third year for these decorations as they were purchased in 2005.  The decorations will be removed in early January.
