To make this holiday season a little brighter, the Town of Strathmore is challenging residents to channel their inner Clark Griswald by decorating their home or business with electric cheer.

The town’s Christmas Decorating Contest can be entered online by posting photos of homes and businesses on Facebook, using the hashtag #StrathmoreDecorates2020.

“This is a great way for the community to come together using a virtual platform to celebrate the holidays, while still remaining cautious of COVID-19,” said Mayor Pat Fule.

The contest runs from Nov. 27 to Dec. 20. Judging will take place on Dec. 21 and 22, and the winners will be announced on Dec. 23. Prizes are available and the most decorated neighbourhood wins a block party in 2021.
