MENDHAM, NJ - Cupid is circling the area and with Valentine's Day fast approaching on Sunday Mendham Borough officials are hoping you will show your love - through decorations.

The Decorate Your Door contest is asking that residents dream up some festivr attire for their doorway with special hearts, wrapping it in red, or jazzing it up with lights. The only rules are to make it a family activity and to have fun, officials said.

Starting on Friday and continuing through Valentine's Day weekend the mayor and council members of Mendham Borough will be driving through town and taking pictures of the displays in order to begin the judging process.
