Century Continues Christmas Decorating Plans

October 4, 2012

The Town of Century is continuing to make plans for new Christmas decorations on utility poles along North Century Boulevard.

The town has ordered 42, 50-inch Christmas wreaths with energy saving LED bulbs and 24-inch nylon bows. The wreaths were ordered from Dixie Decorations in Montavello, Ala., for $15,047

This week, the town learned that it will cost $2,734 to have Gulf Power wire three poles that currently do not have electricity for three of the wreaths. Council President Ann Brooks said that local companies have been contacted to create bows for the wreaths that are expected to arrive by the end of the month.

    I remember when the Christmas lights would go up in Atmore, my Dad would drive us around town in the evening to enjoy the lights.

    Matt I know that it may seem stupid to you today, but then we felt joy in celebrating the birth of Christ, as many of us still feel that joy today.
