PITTSTON – The city conducted its first-ever Christmas decoration contest during the 2020 holiday season. City officials said they were pleased with the participation from the community and look forward to the 2021 holiday season.
Mary Kroptavich, Pittston’s Main Street manager, said there were four judged categories: People’s Choice Award, Most Creative Award, the Clark Griswold Award and Most Original Business Award.
“We had a great turnout for the very first one,” Kroptavich said. “I believe we had about 20 houses participate this year and about 15 businesses taking part. I was quite happy, and hopefully next year the word gets out for next year to get more participants.”
