Holiday preparations

It takes a lot of work to get the Square ready for the holiday events. The biggie is the holiday tree that arrives in early November. When it arrives on the truck, it’s missing hundreds of branches. Some have been cut off for shipping, and others have to be added from other trees to give it a perfect shape. Brackets are attached to the new branches and bolted to the tree trunk. It’s a tough job and it takes a long time. In the end when the branches are attached and the lights are added, it looks beautiful. Also, the fountains are drained, and small, lighted trees replace the water in the fountains. I don’t know what happens to the coins in the fountains? Winter flowers are planted. After weeks of preparation, everything is ready for the holiday season. Santa hangs out on the square, and there are numerous events happening each week. Keep a close watch on the “Square Calendar of Events,” so you won’t miss something you would enjoy. Happy holidays from the Square People blog.
