Last night as dark fall and I was heading outside with my sister and her husband to watch the blinky flashy lights we where meet at the door by the local papers photographer asking if he could take pictures of the display. Of course i said yes as we are talking he says we where picked as one of 3 winners in the local Christmas light contest (didn't know about the contest until i got last months water bill).
The local 4-H club sponsors it and normally have 3 places that you can be named a winner in, but this year there are a few really nice displays in Hallsville and after the judging and voting all three of the finalist where tied so they awarded first place to all 3 this year. There is some amount of prize money (not sure how much) and the best part is we get a wright up and picture on the front page of the news paper.
Not to bad for my first year and only 15k lights and 5 songs.
