A Grand Island man got an early Christmas gift on Dec. 4 when his house was decorated with Christmas lights.
Daniel Hromas, a U.S. Marine veteran, was chosen as winner of the âLight a Heroâs Homeâ contest, which was sponsored by the Grand Island Surgery Center, RTC Lighting in Aurora and KROR-Rock 101.5 radio station.
Hromas said he actually nominated his parents for the contest before realizing that they were not eligible.
âMy parents are both veterans, so I nominated them,â he said. âWhen I got the call from the radio station they told me my parents couldnât win because they donât live in the Tri-Cities. They live in Lincoln.
