Wahpeton announced the winners of the second annual Griswold Award holiday lighting contest. Once again, the winners were David and Jackie Paul, 310 Ninth St. N. The Pauls have been acclaimed for their home and lawn decorations, which this year include homemade figurines of the Grinch, his dog Max and Cindy Lou Who among the familiar favorites.
âJackie made the patterns and I cut them out of wood,â David Paul said. âItâs all due to Jackieâs ingenuity. We like to change it up a little and we just enjoy that people enjoy our decorations.â
