Holiday Decorated House Contest

This year, there will be a contest for the best, brightest, and most impressively decorated house for the holidays. This contest is aimed at sparking a community effort to beautify and brighten up our area for the holidays. You must enter the contest to win one of 3 prizes, but if everyone participates, the ultimate prize is to have one of the most unique and impressive holiday “towns” around. Sign up forms are available at Village hall and also on the Village’s website. The winners will be announced at the tree lighting ceremony on December 7^th. This contest is for homes and businesses located within the GWL School district, not just the Village. Meaning, it includes everyone from Nelson Rd. to Jersey Ave, East Shore, Etc. But, you must register your home to be included.
