The Glen Armil Neighborhood Association announces the winners of the home lighting and decorating contest. The contest is simply to encourage civic pride and and recognize residents who celebrate the holiday season with festive decorations and lighting. There were many decorations; we realized several categories, animated lighting, non animated lighting and finally a group prize for best block of homes. Recognition is also given to displays on main streets, because they will be seen by more passers-by. Homes in the GANA area from Locust to Central Park and from Marquette to Gaines were viewed.
