BROOKINGS – The Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce helped the community of Brookings get into the holiday spirit this season with the third annual Let It Glow, a holiday light competition.
Thirty-four houses illuminated Brookings in the contest, an increase from the 32 participants last year. Organizers report 612 votes were submitted via text from those that drove and carefully selected their favorite house to be crowned the winner, up from 549 received last year.
Residents decked their homes with lights, lawn ornaments, wreaths and more to help bring holiday cheer to residents in Brookings. Participants had the chance to win one of the three $100 cash prizes for three different categories: Best in Show, Clark Griswold, and People’s Choice.
The 2020 winners are:
• Best in Show: Kristopher and Sarah Shrewsberry home (No. 10)
• Clark Griswold (most lights): Corey and Heather Ridgway home (No. 32)
• People’s Choice (public vote): Jeremiah Ackermann home (No. 19)
Sponsors for the event were Mediacom Residential, Emilie Portz of Century 21, Outdoor Design & Landscape, The Brookings Register, Brookings Dental Clinic, Embrace Dentistry, Mills Property Management, and Sanford Clinic.
