Christmas in the Country Prep


Oxford News

This year we documented all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the City of Oxford’s preparation for Christmas in the Country! 🎥🌟

Our goal each November is to make sure every light twinkles, every decoration shines, and the whole town is ready for the big celebration the weekend after Thanksgiving. 🎅🎁✨

The videos below give you a peek at just how much time, effort, and holiday spirit our Utility Crew puts in to make Oxford look wonderfully Christmassy! 🌲💡❤️

From hanging lights to setting up decorations, they work hard to bring the magic of the season to life for everyone in our community. 🎄🙌✨

Enjoy the festive fun! 🎉🎀

Brief Outages This Morning


Oxford News

***UPDATE***

The City Crew discovered that a bad insulator at the City's power plant was the cause of the two blown fuses earlier this morning. They have replaced the insulator along with both fuses so there should be no further outages. 

 

The two brief power outages this morning were caused by blown fuses. Our city crew is currently working to locate the source of the issue. Thank you for your patience. We'll provide an update when available.
