Phillip Brege, city electric department employee, checks and changes bulbs on a Christmas wreath downtown. Three city crews were out Monday under blue skies and in warm temperatures, getting West Plains spruced up for the holiday season. Drivers around town may have noticed some of the snowflake lights that grace the city's main streets have also started going up, and the city Christmas tree will go up at the end of November. As of today, Christmas is only 39 days away.
