SR Holiday Lights Contest: A Community Tradition
The Scripps Ranch Holiday Lights Contest has become a beloved annual tradition in our community. Launched by Laura Stephens and Scripps Ranch News in 2021, this contest has quickly captured the spirit of Scripps Ranch.
“Scripps Ranch is such a special place – a dream come true for living, working and raising a family. Events like the Annual Tree Lighting, the Fourth of July Parade, and this contest showcase why our community is so wonderful,” Laura said. “Megan Paige and I take great joy in hosting this contest. The map of lights provides families with a guide to explore the impressive displays created by our neighbors. Each year, we eagerly look forward to sponsoring this event and celebrating the festive spirit that lights up the streets of Scripps Ranch. Congrats to this year’s participants and winners!”
