It’s not too late…this Thursday you can turn your lights on
outside and participate in the Holiday Lights Contest. A team of volunteers will be out cruising the
streets looking at all the wonderfully decorated homes out there. They are giving
of their busy schedules, especially this time of year, to judge the annual
Lights Contest sponsored by Main Street. I’m sure it will not be an easy task.
It’s always fun to feast our eyes on the colorful lights and
efforts of many residents that work on the outside of their homes to spread
some holiday cheer to their fellow residents.
It is so enjoyable to see not only the creativity but also the spirit in
which the homeowners send their Christmas greeting out to all who travel our
streets.
There are always MANY more homes that have done an excellent
job in decorating than we can award prizes too. I’m sure the privilege of
bragging rights and a yard sign are not the motivation behind their efforts. Honestly,
these folks just enjoy the season and find this a nice way to share with
others.
This year we will be giving awards to 1st, 2nd
and 3rd place, as well as Most Holiday Spirit Award and People’s
Choice. If you would like to nominate a
home for that – just give my office a call with the address and homeowners
name, if known. It is just another way to involve our residents in the process
and acknowledge the efforts of those light enthusiasts.
And another big thank you to all of those who decorated with
lights this year. You’ve contributed to another part of the beauty of
Barnesville and the holiday season. You’ve reminded us of the bright and cheeriness
of Christmas. And many of you have had some fun with it as well. Thanks for
brightening our holiday season!!
