Downtown Christmas Decorations
The City of Seymour Electric and Street Department teamed up to put up the Christmas Banners and Angels downtown and on North Main Street. The City Hall has also been decorated for Christmas along with the Sound Garden. Both look amazing and welcoming to our community.

The City of Seymour provides the opportunity for anyone to donate to our Downtown Christmas Light Fund. The angels and banners downtown are beginning to age out and need being replaced in the next few years. If you would like to donate let it be known on your electric bill or contact the front office clerk Nita Hons at (940) 889-0023.

Mulching Begins at Transfer Station
