Happy Holidays!

Are you ready for the Holidays?

I've heard from several who are excited about the outside lights/decor contest this year. Here's the latest. On December 20th we'll have a team of independent (outside the neighborhood) judges view our streets and choose the top three houses. Those will be rated #1, #2, and #3 and have signs in the yard announcing their place. This will be a fun contest and I'm looking forward to driving around the neighborhood and seeing all the decorations.

ALSO: It's time for Jack Breese to defend his title as Preserve Chili King.

December 20th, 5:30pm the annual chili cook-off/Christmas party will be held at the Bill's home again this year - 970 Drifting Wind Run - with hot dogs, chili, dessert, hot chocolate, games for the kids, and a visit from Santa himself. This year we're asking those who want to - please bring a food item, non- perishable, for either human or dog. Potatoes are OK, but no fresh veggies. Canned or dry dog or cat food is great. We'll donate the items to those in need.

During the party we'll have a wagon to take groups around to see the lights in the neighborhood and maybe even sing a few carols.

The adult party will start at 8pm at Dan and Deanie Dart's house. Let us know if you can come, and if you are willing to bring a favorite bottle of wine to share, or a favorite holiday dessert.
