Ellis County commissioners will consider a resolution joining Operation "Green Light," a nationwide effort to honor veterans.
A resolution would have the county light the courthouse, Law Enforcement Center and Emergency Services buildings green from Nov. 4 through Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
The county expects only minimal costs to change the buildings’ light bulbs.
If adopted on Tuesday morning, Ellis County will encourages its residents in patriotic tradition to recognize the importance of honoring all those who made immeasurable sacrifices to preserve freedom by displaying green lights in a window of their place of business or residence from Nov. 4 through the 11, from now on.
4-H Club Christmas lighting
Commissioners will also consider a request from the Gemini Juniors 4-H Club to decorate the trees just north of the Hays Public Library, at 13th and Main streets. Club members plan to continue the annual tradition with help from a local scout troop. The request lists no financial impact.

Amanda Rupp, director of the Ellis County Historical Society, will provide an update to commissioners about the society.
