How embarrassing. There is no doubt that the lights will be pretty, but it is not wise spending. And the "logic" behind the decision...I doubt people talk about the current Century Christmas lights. The quoted conversation certainly lacks professionalism. We live in Davisville, but have a Century mailing address. Let's start a campaign to have our addresses in that area changed to Walnut Hill. Because of the current leadership, it's rough being associated with the town of Century. I feel sorry for the people who live in Century. How embarrassing.

Makes about as much sense as anything any government does. A 290% increase in taxes to buy $40,000-worth of new Christmas decorations. Makes about as much sense as anything any government does.

The City Council continues to fail to follow the State Laws regarding how to conduct City business. Shouldn't someone at the State or at least the County level be paying attention to this or do they expect to be notified.

Ppl will drive out of their way to see good Christmas lights. The more traffic we bring through this town, better it is for businesses. Well in this case convenience stores but it can generate other businesses.
