Each year the merchants become more creative with their festive storefront displays. This was the first year that the tourism agency sponsored a Home Decoration Contest, which proved to be a very popular activity with families offering eye-catching presentations.
This holiday season has been hampered by concerns of Covid-19, which has caused the cancellation or modification of several annual Christmas events. The Decoration Contests quickly became the preferred way for people to celebrate the season while practicing social distancing by viewing the displays by car or safely spread out on foot.
The first-place winner was the Fletcher family at 318 Pressley Road. They have been lovingly adding to their display for over 30 years, which has now grown to 75,000 lights. The second-place winner was the Hudson family at 301 Whispering Hills Drive and the third-place winner was the Noblett family at 351 Old Dana Road. To drive to the homes, click here.
