Wildomar Looks for the Martha Stewart, Clark Griswold of Holiday Lighting

Who is the Martha Stewart of Wildomar as far as holiday lights decorating?  For that matter, who is the Clark Griswold?

The city of Wildomar is hosting its annual Holiday Lights Home Decorating Contest. Online voting will help decide the winners.

“The public will judge from December 16th through December 22^nd,” the city says on its website. “Winners will be announced online December 23rd. Awards will be given for the each of the three categories. Lawn signs and bragging rights will be yours for the 2013 year!”

From now until Dec. 15, residents can enter their home in one of three categories:

• Traditional is for those who are like "Martha Stewart," with every bulb and decoration just so.
• Clark Griswold entrants think the more lights and decorations the merrier. (Griswold was the Chevy Chase character in the National Lampoon film series.)
• Best Block is for those with three or more houses lit up.

Residents can enter using the city's online form or return the attached entry form to the City of Wildomar, Community Services Department at City Hall by December 15, 2012. Please include a picture of your home for our website.

Meanwhile, don’t forget Patch’s Deck the House contest, whose top prize is $100,000 for your local school district and cash to pay your electric bill.
