Christmas Lighting Contest winners given their prizes

This year?s Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Christmas Lighting Contest attracted 22 total entries, 12 from the county and 10 from the city, according to Chamber president Lea Chrisawn.

?We had a lot of beautifully decorated homes and, as always, it was hard to choose,? Chrisawn said. ?But eventually we narrowed them down to three from the city and three from the county.?

Winners received cash prizes, with the county prizes sponsored by Caney Fork Electric, presented by Vicki Messick and Terry Mullican, and McMinnville prizes sponsored by MES and presented by Rodney Boyd.

Prizes were first place – $100, second place – $60, and third place – $40.
