REALTORS TO PUBLISH WINNERS OF ANNUAL CHRISTMAS LIGHT CONTEST
REDDING LIFESTYLES, REDDING RECREATION, SHASTA COUNTY
December 10th, 2008
Realtors, along with Affiliate members of the Shasta Association of Realtors, toured the Greater Redding area to view dozens of entries for the Annual Christmas Light Decorating Contest. All contestants were grouped by location and the homes were viewed Monday evening by association volunteers. The list was whittled down to the best two entries from each area and those were viewed Tuesday evening by all the judges.
The hardest part was selecting the Grand Prize winner. Cash prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place as well as Honorable Mention. The Best Street was also given an award of $800. Here are some of the finalists:
- 12949 Akrich Street- Take I-5 North to Pine Grove exit, right on Pine Grove, left on Virginia, right on Akrich
- 2499 El Verano-Rancho Road to Saratoga, north to El Verano-on corner, tune your radio
- 21316 Gaines Lane, Anderson- I-5 to Deschutes, North to balls Ferry, left to Gaines lane
- 3187 Barrel Court- S. Bonnyview to E. Bonnyview, north to Barrel Court
Here are some of my favorites:
- 292 Ironwood- Market Street to Benton to Riverpark Highlands to Ironwood, tune your radio
- Lucerne Court- 4 homes-Eastside Road to Sacramento/Star, right on Balaton to Lucerne
- 11565 Fox Estates Court-Collyer to Ridgewood, left on Hollow, Right on Fox Estates Ct, home on right
- 16974 Catalina-Quartz Hill to Keswick Dam, west to Menlo, left on Catalina Way. Meet Santa!
All the entries and prize winners will be published in the local paper in the next day or two.
I suggested a new category for next year- The Green Award! This would go to the home that utilized green products for decorating purposes such as LED lights, solar-powered lights and/or figurines, decorations made with recycled products, etc. The lead committee member that organizes the contest thought it was a great idea and may devise such a category for next year’s competition.
