2016 Chamber of Commerce holiday home decorating contest winners

It’s easy to see the holiday season is upon us. The City of Gold is lit in all its festive glory and home owners are adding to the splendor with their Christmas lights and décor. The Chamber of Commerce Holiday Home Decorating Contest judges had an extremely difficult time deciding who to award the prizes to again this year. It was some very close competition indeed. Contestants like the first place winner have added wonderful accents such as music to set the mood, and some of our local decorating veterans continue to expand their efforts. Start an annual tradition this year. Bundle up the kids, make some hot chocolate and tour the Wonder City this holiday season.

The Chamber of Commerce thanks the City of El Dorado Springs for their generous contribution to the contest. First Place receives $150 off their city utility bill, 2nd Place receives $75, 3rd Place $50 and 4th Place $25 off their utility bill. We also thank Mike & Joe’s Service Station for supplying the judge’s fuel for the Chamber of Commerce Holiday Home Decorating Contest. If you see any participants please thank them for their efforts to add holiday spirit to our community. The Chamber of Commerce reminds you to shop locally this holiday season. Support those merchants that support your community.   – Merry Christmas.
