The City of Pembroke and the Township of Laurentian Valley are excited to launch the “Deck the Halls Community Showdown,” an outdoor Christmas decorating contest aimed at spreading festive cheer across the region. The contest invites residents and businesses to decorate their properties and compete in four categories: Best in Pembroke, Best in Laurentian Valley, Best Overall – Smitty’s Home Hardware’s Choice, and Best Business.
The contest will run from November 18th to December 15th. Participants can nominate their properties by filling out an online form. Judging will occur from December 16th to 19th, and the winners will be announced on social media on December 20th.
Thanks to the generous support of Smitty’s Home Hardware Building Centre, each winner will receive a $150 Home Hardware gift card.
Mayor Ron Gervais expressed his excitement for the initiative, saying, “It is with great pleasure that I announce the ‘Deck the Halls Faceoff,’ a Christmas decorating contest organized by the Township of Laurentian Valley and the City of Pembroke. This friendly competition invites residents to showcase their holiday spirit by lighting up their homes and businesses into displays of festive cheer. Let’s light up our communities with joy and creativity this holiday season. Happy decorating!”
