For more than 15 years, Walden Lake has held its annual Christmas light display contest. This year’s event happened Dec. 11.
Not only do the homes within each subdivision set up festive displays, but the annual contest allows residents to come together and decorate the entrance to their individual neighborhoods. A panel of five impartial judges drove around Walden Lake, making notes and marking down scores in four categories: Creativity, Color/Material, Overall and Standout. The scores were then totaled and the subdivisions with the highest scores won bragging rights until next year’s competition.
Competition was fierce, as some neighborhoods draped lights and decor over every available inch of space and created themes for their displays.
The winners of the 2023 Walden Lake Decorating Contest are as follows:
Grand Prize: Emerald Forest
1st Place: Hampton Place
2nd Place: Aston Woods
