The Castlegar News has partnered with the City of Castlegar, FortisBC, and Mercer Celgar once again to bring a Merry & Bright holiday decoration contest to Castlegar this season.
Judges will tour Castlegar after dark on Sunday, Dec. 15 , and select first and second-place winners for the best and most creative holiday displays. The winners will be announced in the Dec. 19 edition of the Castlegar News and will share $1,500 in gift certificates to local businesses.
Entries will be featured on an online map available at castlegar.ca/merryandbright. The map will be continually updated as more entries are received.
It's easy to enter: simply send your name and address to info@castlegar.ca.
Only Castlegar residents are eligible to win the prizes, but we hope our friends in the surrounding rural areas will also submit their displays for the map.
For more information, visit castlegar.ca/events or follow the City of Castlegar on Facebook.
Also in December, don't miss out of the Castlegar News December to Remember shopping promotion done in partnership with local businesses and the City of Castlegar's Winter Wonderland, both happening on Dec. 7.
