Santa Claus has made an early stop in Ozark, dropping off the city’s newest gift

OZARK, Ala. (WTVY) - After having the same tree for many years, the City of Ozark began the search for a new tree. In February, city officials came across the tree that they thought would be just right. Now a 32 foot Christmas Tree will stand in front of the Dale County Court House.

City officials hoping the new tree is a holiday feature all take advantage of.

“Well I hope the appreciate it and see that we are trying to move Ozark forward in a positive way and this is a way that can bring people downtown enjoy the holidays and maybe have a good place for pictures,” said Ryan Campbell, Public Works Director.

The City of Ozark will light their Christmas tree on December 7th before the Christmas parade.
