Christmas Light Pole Decoration Contest
Last year’s first attempt at light pole decoration on the old-fashioned light poles on Main Street was a great success. Every light pole was assigned to someone, so let’s have that same excellent participation again! Individuals or groups can sign up to decorate a pole in time for Christmas.
NOTE: If your pole has a WaterWays banner on it, the LGAA has given permission for you to take it down and paint it to go with your Christmas theme.
Deadline for Sign-Up: Nov. 15
Deadline for Decoration Completed: Nov. 29
Winners will be announced at the Christmas Parade on Dec. 10.
