Organizers are busy getting set for holiday fun this week as the Spirit of Christmas Lighted Parade and the Christmas Under the Stars Festival get underway in just days.

Christmas decorations and lights began going up across Brownwood on Wednesday as part of the preparation.  The Brownwood Fire Department hung lighted star displays on light poles in Downtown Brownwood while Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce volunteers put together decorations and lights for the weekend festival in the Depot Plaza.
