   Written by on December 4, 2014 at 12:53 pm

The Keysville Ruritan Club and the Keysville Garden Club are sponsoring a Christmas Decorating Contest.  The clubs suggests that decorations be in scale and proportion and artistically designed for the residence, but decorations need not be elaborate.

The sponsors also advise the following as guidelines:

Enter by December 11, 2014 before 12:00 noon.

Enter your name by calling Lillian Duffie 434-736-9505, Velda Agee 434-736-9217 or Doris Claybrook 434-736-9321.

Judging will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 11, 2014.

Live material on the State Conservation List, such as mistletoe, running cedar, or native American holly, should not be used.  The decorations should include some fresh material.

We encourage businesses to enter.  The rules will be different; no fresh material or concealed spot lighting will be required.

Categories are:

Door – Window

Religious (or Yard Scene)

Novelty

Judging will be based on overall effect.  Concealed spot lighting is necessary.

A radius within five (5) miles of Keysville will be the judging area.

Ribbons will be awarded to deserving entries, and a tri-color ribbon will be awarded to the best entry.
