With some stiff competition in the mix, the 2020 Heritage Christmas Light It Up Contest, sponsored by Antrim Insurance Agency, Inc., has generated over $1,000 for the Greencastle-Antrim Food Pantry.
Each year the Greencastle-Antrim Chamber of Commerce organizes the contest featuring entries by residents who decorate the exterior of their homes for the Christmas season. This year 16 homes in the Greencastle-Antrim area registered for the contest. It ran the first three weeks of December, ending last Sunday. Community members have been voting for their favorite home $1 per vote. In total, $1,034.00 dollars were raised.

“Driving around town to look at Christmas lights is a Christmas tradition many families enjoy year after year,” noted G-ACC Executive Director Valerie Meyers. “We’re so grateful for the many participants who decorated their homes; and to the community members who contributed funds by voting. It’s a fun and friendly competition for a worthy cause.”
