House Decorating Contest Winners - 2008

The theme for this year's 4th of July celebration was
"Red, White and Blue, Independence and You"

First Place

1st Place - Dallas and Mary Wendling

Land of the Free because of the brave.
Red, White and Blue, Independence and You

Dallas & Mary Wendling - 305 S. 8th Ave.

Dallas and Mary Wendling's house was very colorful and followed the theme of this year's celebration. The judges particularly liked the quotation that was written on the garage door, the Uncle Sam doll, the teddy bears, flags and doll. The house was very well decorated and deserved a first place.

Third Place

3rd Place - Bud and Helen Vercler

Bud and Helen Vercler - 910 Warren St.

Bud and Helen Vercler's house was decorated with balloons, stars, fire crackers and on the door was a panel drawn of the Statute of Liberty. The judges did appreciate the artistic work on the door by Helen.




Alright Chenoa, you did pretty good this year, but I did not see as many flags as we should see. I realize the weather may play part of the reason, but come on Chenoa, next year let's see lots of flags. When someone from out of town drives thru, let's let them know that we are proud citizens of a town that cares.

See you next year, have a safe and happy celebration.
