KELLY ASKING FOR
NOMINATIONS FOR HOLIDAY DECORATING CONTEST IN CITY
Inspired by the Festival
of Lights in City Park, Bridgeton Mayor Albert Kelly is asking for nominations
for the best residential outdoor holiday decorating and lighting displays throughout
the city. Anyone can submit a nomination and the only requirement is that the
decorations be in the front yard and visible from the street.
“This is one of my
favorite times of the year. Like many folks, I enjoy seeing Christmas lights, ornaments,
and all the creative things people do to decorate their homes for the season.
We have some talented residents” said Kelly.
The contest is open to all
Bridgeton residents and anyone can nominate a house, including their own. Kelly
will be teaming up with colleagues on City Council to select the top 3 displays
and will announce the winners after New Year’s Day when the season comes to
end.
In addition to the winners
of the Holiday decorating contest, Mayor and Council will also announce the
winners of the first summer garden contest from earlier in the year.
“Each season brings its
own special symbols and attractions. In spring it’s all about the flowers and
gardens; this time of year it’s all about snowmen, reindeer, Santa, lights, and
manger scenes. I’ve already noticed some attractive yards” Kelly said.
Those wishing to make a
nomination should call the Office of the Mayor at (856) 455-3230 Ext 200 and
leave the address of the yard or residence being nominated, and if known, the
name of the person responsible for the decorating. Kelly and team will take it
from there.
“Some people work hard at
making their yards look the best they can be. It adds an attractive quality to
our neighborhoods and this is always a positive thing. I want to be able to
recognize that contribution and thank the residents who take the time to
decorate their homes” said Kelly
