NORWICH – The Town and Country and Norwich Garden clubs have teamed up to host the Fifth Annual  Home for the Holidays  decorating contest in December 2021.  The contest was not held  in 2020. Club members report that they are excited to  bring it back this year.

Since the contest began in 2016,  members from the two clubs state that they have  been delighted and impressed with all the beautiful and creative decorations  they have seen as they judged for the contest.  Both clubs  encourage  you  to join in the fun by getting your house and yard holiday ready.

Judging occurs in the evening, so be sure that you use lighting to highlight your decorations.

Residents can compete for  recognition  awarded in ten categories of exterior home decorating for the December holidays.

Winners will be announced in the Evening Sun and on our Facebook page shortly after judging is complete. There is no entry form or fee, however if you want to insure your home is judged, let us know by posting or messaging through our Facebook page.
