There is nothing better than a small-town Christmas. This year to show our town spirit and help Vermont Light the Way, Cambridge Area Rotary is running a holiday light contest. So, deck the halls in your front yards with beautiful light displays for the community to enjoy. The 1st annual Cambridge Area Rotary Holiday Light Contest is a contest that awards residential decorators cash prizes for their merits. There will be 5 prizes awarded and homeowners must submit our registration form and pictures by 6pm on December 20th. The categories will be 1) Clark Griswold Grandeur, 2) Best Inflatables, 3) Best use of color and creativity, 4) Classic Christmas and 5) Facebook Fan Favorite (Determined by # of likes/shares). Judging will take place on the 21st, and the top 10 submissions will have a sight drive by on the 22nd. The top 5 homeowners/renters will be contacted before Christmas. This is a fun and wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season, besides who does not love to drive around and look at Christmas lights?
The contest submission form can be filled out here:
