It’s almost time for the Second-Annual Merry & Bright Holiday Lights Experience! Last year, this Munster Education Foundation event raised more than $12,000 in support of our schools, with 17 homes participating. This year, we look forward to even bigger, brighter displays of holiday cheer throughout our town—and we hope you’ll join the fun!
Register your home by Nov. 27 to become one of the houses featured in our Merry & Bright Holiday Lights Experience. Even better: Encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same! Enjoy some friendly holiday competition while making memories and raising money for a great cause.
The first place winner will receive a $250 Lowe's gift card and a trophy (courtesy of State Farm agent Kyle Dempsey). Other honors include the "Clark Griswold" prize, "Best in Show" and "Incredible Inflatables."
See examples from last year's contest below.
First Place: Certa's White Oak Wonderland
Second Place: Wonderland On Wren
Most Original: Griswold’s on Greenwood
