WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — It's Frosty the Snowman's time to shine in Wilkes-Barre.
"Nothing wrong with celebrating early at all, if anything, it brings more like a joy to this time of the year," said Nebula Newhart, Nanticoke.
Students from Wilkes-Barre Career and Technical Center are behind the holiday decor seen in these planters around the downtown.
"It makes the community look nice. And around our square, around Wilkes Barre," said Danny Ortiz, Wilkes-Barre.
"What I personally like about is how we used the greens to make it look more flush and more life-like, and using the birch twigs to like add it to the thing. I think it makes it look more natural in a way," said Nebula.
"We do a lot of stuff like this at the school, like decorating the sign and just the center area of the school. We place trees around as well. So, it makes sense. We do a lot of crafts with the pine leaves as well," said Lilliana Paglianite, Pittston.
While projects like this might seem like a small change, businesses in the area say it doesn't go unnoticed.
"Absolutely, you know, it's beautiful, just small, little things. Take pride in your city, makes it awesome. Our customers absolutely notice it. You know, we've talked about it before. It looks good. It's cool. They have the kids doing it too," said Anthony Ranella, Loyalty Barbershop Wilkes-Barre owner.
Students say they enjoy the opportunity to do something outside of the classroom and look forward to what comes next.
"I get to see people that I don't normally see around, like this time of the year, and I get to celebrate it with my family and friends," added Nebula.
