Holiday Home Decorating Contest!
As the holiday season is upon is, we are inviting members of the community to participate in our first “Holiday Home Decorating Contest”. We had so much fun with our Halloween Home Decorating Contest that we wanted to extend another fun opportunity to you during the December holidays. All those wishing to participate must register by emailing erotfeld@ryebrookny.gov with your family name and address no later than December 16th. The prizes will be awarded on December 18th.
The following are the four (4) categories that will be awarded prizes, with two (2) prizes awarded in each category:
“Through a Child’s Eyes” – Remember how you viewed the holiday season as a small child? How do you think children today view the holiday season? Let’s see that vision shine through with your holiday theme.
“Traditionally Elegant” – The Traditionally Elegant home should be just that… “elegant”. Use your imagination and creativity to present a truly elegant display.
“Creative Inflatables” – There are really terrific inflatables today – show us how you can create a fun holiday scene with your inflatables.
“The ‘Clark Griswold’ Award”: – You guessed it…the ‘Clark Griswold’ Award will go to those homeowners who believe there can never be enough decorations and bright lights despite their annual December electric bills. Go crazy!
We look forward to visiting your holiday homes (at a safe distance of course)! Award winners and locations will be posted through the village’s social media so everyone can tour these festive Rye Brook homes during the holidays.
