No More Xmas Music

WAITSBURG - Where did the holiday music go?

The Christmas music that resounded from a speaker on top of Waitsburg City Hall for years was silenced in 2008, said City Manager Randy Hinchliffe.

Hinchliffe said the speaker that emitted the holiday tunes is in poor condition and does not do the music justice.

The music was controlled by a CD player that would get stuck on one song, resulting in a specific song, like "Frosty the Snowman" being played over and over again for hours. Unfortunately, Hinchliffe said, some community members did not find this desirable.

"We got more complaints than compliments," he said.

There are no plans to upgrade the speaker or system at this time, Hinchliffe said.
