Christmas is this coming Tuesday, which means several public offices in Dallas County will be closed in observance of the holiday.

In Perry, all City offices, the Water Works Department, and the McCreary Community Building will be closed on the 24th and 25th. The Perry Public Library will be open on Christmas Eve from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., though it will be closed Christmas Day. Garbage routes scheduled for Monday will be picked up as normal, though those scheduled for Tuesday will instead be picked up Wednesday. In Adel, all City offices and the public library will be closed on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Garbage pickup in Adel will be delayed by one day during the week.

Additionally, all Dallas County offices will be closed the 24th and 25th, including the courthouse, driver’s license station, and Department of Motor Vehicles. There will also be no Board of Supervisors meeting during the week. Finally, all banking institutions and local post offices throughout the County will be closed on Christmas Day. However, the postal service will operate as normal on Christmas Eve, and most banks will be open at least part of the day.
