Wellington CAC sponsoring Christmas lighting contest

The snow’s not flying yet and Halloween’s not over, but it’s time to start planning for your Christmas decorations.

The Wellington Community Activities Commission will again sponsor the annual Christmas House Lighting Contest. Cash prizes include $100 for first place, $75 for second and $50 for third.

The contest is open to homes within the Town of Wellington limits. Forms are due at Town Hall on Nov. 30 before 5 p.m.

A map of participating homes will be mailed with the Wellington water bills for December, but you’ll be able to find it online at the North Forty News’ Guide to Northern Colorado Christmas light displays
