NEW ULM - Thursday morning workers were busy decking City Hall and downtown Minnesota Street with Christmas decorations.
At City Hall, staff from New Ulm Public Utilities were up in cherry pickers adding strings of holiday lights and Christmas ornaments to the evergreen facing Broadway. In addition to the main evergreen, staff decorated the other trees surrounding City Hall and finished with placing lights on the Heritage Tree at the corner of 1st South and Minnesota.
On Minnesota Street, employees from Warner's Outdoor Solutions strung lights through the trees downtown from 3rd North to 1st South.
Additional decorations will be added throughout the week. New Ulm Chamber President Sarah Warmka said the holiday wreaths will be decorated and added to the light posts around Friday, Nov. 20. Two days later on Sunday, Nov. 22, New Ulm Education Association (NUEA) will add live Christmas trees to the corner planters along Minnesota Street.
All community decorations should be in place ahead of the Parade of Lights, which is two weeks away.
Warmka said a new upside-down Christmas Tree has already been selected for this year's Weihnacts Markt. The tree is scheduled to be cut down on Monday, Nov. 23 and moved to German Park.
