Fairview committee buys Christmas decorations

Saves council about $5,000

By Mallory Panuska

FAIRMONT — Several Fairview townspeople have come together to help dress up the streets for Christmas this year.

Town Recorder Heather Tuttle said that council recently learned that a Christmas Committee, made up of five or six Fairview residents, has raised enough money to purchase the decorations that will be put up around the town this holiday season.

And all the town has to do is maintain, store them and run the electricity to the lights, which will save about $5,000 that council members had set aside for their purchase.

“Several people in the town made donations and helped the committee get decorations,” Tuttle said. “Now the town won’t have to purchase them and won’t have to spend $5,000. We want to thank them for working with us.”

Tuttle said the decorations will probably consist of wreaths and candles hung on the utility poles along Main Street with lights strung around them. She said she hopes that they will be put up next week, with a tentative decorating date set for Thursday.

And while there will be no Christmas parade this year like there has been in the past, Tuttle said that a local resident will be playing Santa and giving treats out to children in the community. The date and location for that event is still not decided yet, though.
