Best Hometown Feeling:
Pat's Porch with a porch full of holiday cheer and the feeling of home. (So homey, that passersby are using it as a photo op!)

EC Roofing, with a ladder to spare, kept Santa busy climbing up and down to place lights on the tree and their gnome-ish elves were a delight to the judges. Artist: Sarah Fultz
Classic Holiday:
Better World Imaginarium's winter tableau complete with small towns and ice skaters reminded us of a Currier and Ives holiday card.

The Artful Flea displayed found and homemade merchandise under the sparkle of lights to highlight their porch. Be sure to check out their vintage sleigh!
