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.
