A Holiday House Decorating Contest, sponsored by the City of West Chicago and the West Chicago Park District, highlighted the great festive holiday spirit that lives in the community.
A total of 23 registered homes participated and pulled out all the stops for the creative displays.
During a short Selectmen s meeting Wednesday, the board heard from Town Clerk Haley Meczywor, who said residents can vote for their favorite decorated home starting Friday, Dec.18, at 5 pm. Earlier this month, the town decided to resurrect the Holiday Home Decorating Contest in which homeowners are encouraged to decorate the exterior of their residences so they can be seen from the street and judged. Meczywor said this year s 49 participants have been mapped out online on the town s website, where the voting will also take place. It is all there; it is very easy, she said. You can print out the map and mark all of the houses that you want to go see. I suggest you do all of them. Just driving around in my neighborhood there are a few, and I think it is going to be a tough competition.

CONSHOHOCKEN â From the virtual Christmas tree lighting last month to  the debut of the Holiday House Decorating Contest, the borough of Conshohocken and local businesses are doing their best to make sure the pandemic Grinch doesnât run away with the Christmas spirit.
âWe had a budget meeting in September and one of the things we discussed was how could we still run things in the borough when there was supposed to be a spike in the pandemic. One of the things we came up with was the Holiday House Decorating Contest,â noted Conshohocken mayor Yaniv Aronson. âOur administration made it a priority to create safe, virtual, or otherwise non-contact holiday programming for residents as we all navigate this difficult time.âÂ
