Parks crew leads holiday installations and even fills roles like Santa in Van Alstyne
Summary
Crew members said winter work shifts to Christmas setup, with lights and parade decorations taking about two months; William volunteered as Santa last year and will do so again.
Van Alstyne’s parks crew described how their workload shifts in winter toward holiday decorations and parade preparations.
William and Paul said winter is largely devoted to Christmas setup and teardown, and that it can take roughly two months to put up lights and displays ahead of the parade. Paul said the crew focuses on the main park areas and downtown square as part of those preparations.
Candy and hosts recounted that William volunteered to play Santa at a past event and that he plans to do it again. Candy praised the crew’s willingness to take on public-facing roles during holiday events, calling their work “very important” to the community.
