Leave your lights on
Holiday tradition continues.
Merrick Life has been hosting the hol-iday home decorating contest for decades, with the Merrick Garden Club and other community organizations helping judge and sponsor prizes.
At first, only artistically decorated doors were entered. Later, the contest was expanded to the whole house.
Nominations and entries for 2011 may be made to lmedit@optimum.net, subject line: holiday decorating contest.
The deadline for entries and nominations is Thursday, December 15, to allow more time for decorating.
The final judging will be held on the evening of Friday, December 16.
Entrants should remember to leave their lights on that afternoon, since the judges start out at dusk.
