Holiday Displays on Agenda for Bethel Officials

BETHEL, CT — The topic of holiday displays on public property will top the selectmen's agenda at their meeting Tuesday.

Bethel's recently-formed Religious Displays Committee approved of the town allowing the use of P.T. Barnum Square and other town property for winter holiday displays. It also recommended that, if the town receives new applications beyond a number that can be easily accommodated, all displays beyond the preexisting Christian and atheist displays be chosen by lottery.

The discussion was tabled last month, but is slated for discussion for the 7 p.m. Tuesday meeting in Room A of the municipal center.
