The San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce Christmas Committee is busy with plans for the 2008 Island Lights Fest Christmas Decorating Contest for Friday Harbor. The goal is to turn our town into a “Winter Wonderland” destination for all to enjoy.

Entrants will be divided into five groups: Retail, Real Estate, Accommodations, Lodging, and Services. There are no entry fees. The Christmas Committee encourages everyone to decorate in the spirit of the season, be part of history as we celebrate 100 years of community enjoyment and involvement.

Festive ribbons will be awarded to the First, Second and Third prize winners for best decorated in each of the above groups. Every entrant will be recognized with a certificate of participation.

Judging for the contest will be Thursday evening, December 4, starting at 5:00pm.

Join your neighbors and light up the town, inviting visitors and locals to our 2008 “Winter Wonderland”.
