It's that time of year again! We're seeing more and more Christmas decorations go up around the neighborhood. The neighborhood entrances will be decorated in the coming days and we are looking to add decorations to the light poles around the neighborhood.
The POA board is also excited to hold the second annual Christmas lights decoration contest. We have information posted below and are working to find individuals from outside our neighborhood to judge the contest. Last year's participation was impressive, let's all pitch in and make this the best decorated neighborhood in Benton!
