Maize Morse Tri Area Civic Assc.

2008 CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS WINNERS & PHOTOS

Judging was conducted on two nights--first on the original date set for December 9. But we realized some neighbors had not yet put up their lights and we did not have the list of the last three years winners. So on the following Sunday night additional members of your MMTACA Board drove through our Tri-Area neighborhoods looking for the winners. We looked for decorations that displayed different facets of the Christmas season, were current MMTACA members and not recent winners. We saw a number of beautifully decorated homes in Maize Meadows and Moors and Dales. We are sorry to say for the second year that those homes in Baby Farms which could have been declared winners were not current MMTACA members. So we decided to name additional winners in the other two Tri Area neighborhoods.

Because of the number of photos listed below, please allow your computer time to upload all of them. We are sorry that the night time photos of the decorations are not clearer. If you can take better quality digital photos of these winners, we would appreciate you emailing the photos to mmtaca@yahoo.com Thank you to Donald Baughman for taking the bright photos of some of the winners.

MOORS AND DALES

In this neighborhood, there were so many outstanding homes beautifully decorated and meeting the qualifications of representing all parts of the Christmas theme, that the MMTACA Board members decided on two first place winners, a runner up and two Honorable Mentions. All winners received individually created certificates. The two first place winners each received a $25 check. MMTACA regrets we do not have Beautification Award signs to place in all the winners' yards.
