Home Lighting Contest is underway
The extremely popular Scripps Ranch News Home Lighting Contest has opened for the 2024 holiday season, sponsored this year by Laura Kay Stephens, Real Estate advisor; and Megan Paige, Real Estate advisor, both from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.
These sponsors make it possible to conduct the Scripps Ranch lighting contest that has provided such a fun and festive experience for local residents the past four years. It has become a warm holiday tradition for all of Scripps Ranch to enjoy.
Anyone whose home is within Scripps Ranch and decorates the outside of their home with holiday lights this season is eligible to enter the contest. Prizes – provided by Laura Kay Stephens and Megan Paige of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties – will be awarded to the top entrants.
Fun Holiday Self-Tour
The Home Lighting Contest not only allows entrants a way to showcase their outdoor light decorating skills, it also provides a convenient opportunity for those who appreciate holiday light decorations to tour the outdoor home displays.
Scripps Ranch News will publish a map of entry locations in the December edition of the newspaper – and will provide updates online. Anyone can use the map (either the printed or online version) to plan a fun viewing tour of brightly decorated Scripps Ranch homes.
