New Christmas decorations for downtown

A group of talented Design members proposed new LED lit snowflakes to accompany the beautiful Joy in Jefferson banners in the downtown to the City Council. With a substantial discount if ordered soon, 32 snowflakes were ordered and will be installed by the streets crew for the holidays of 2019. The City Council had asked for a recommendation to update the downtown decorations with funds already set aside for this project.

Here are the two designs of snowflakes and a picture of a similar look in Manning.

Many thanks to Mikki Schwarzkopf, Kathy Milligan and Karen Lawton for moving this project forward.
