DALLAS — A few weeks ago, Dallas Days Bicentennial member Brenda Pugh put out a request to all Dallas Township and Dallas Borough residents to “light up Dallas” for the Dallas Days Christmas Home Decoration Contest.
Many residents heard her call and put their holiday creativity to the test.
Participants could decorate their homes and yards or just their front doors. The Back Mountain Bloomers were charged with judging.
Decorations were judged on originality, arrangement, best theme, overall presentation, best neighborhood and best front door decorations.
The following winners were announced at the Dallas Days Old-Fashioned Tree Lighting event on Dec. 9.
Front door decorating winners
• First place: Terry Eckert, Machell Avenue
• Second place: Samatha Menichini and Alan Pugh, Split Rail Lane
• Third place: Susan Pall, White Birch Lane.
Home decorating winners:
• First place: Kevin Harger-Blizzard, Overbrook Road
• Second place: Floyd Sutton, Hickory Hills Lane
• Third place: Margie Banks, Kingswood Drive
Also, New Goss Manor received an honorable mention for having the most participants with five entries.
