It’s a holiday hand-off: Kevin Emerick, who owns Security Systems, passes a holiday wreath to Eric Bird for hanging along North Main Street. Emerick donated his time and company bucket truck to help the cCity of Washington’s public works department decorate ahead of Thanksgiving.
The city of Washington’s public works employees spent a sunny Monday reddening downtown in advance of the holiday season. With an assist from Kevin Emerick, who volunteered his company Security Systems’ bucket truck, public works employees secured wreaths decorated in bright-red bows to the light poles along Washington’s main streets. The wreaths will brightly shine on winter evenings through the end of the holidays. The wreath lights were delivered by Terri Wiley, and donated by Judson Wiley & Sons and Rhodes Carpet, in memory of Thomas Wiley.
