| Message | Congratulations to Bill Vaughan and "Collingwood Lights" for being one of the 860 national winners in the Patch "Deck the House" contest. Thank you Patch readers for voting for him, too. Currently, a panel of judges is evaluating all 860 winners and will narrow it down to 24 National Finalists. Those 24 finalists will receive up to $500 to apply towards their December electric bills. Once the 24 are determined, it will be up to Patch readers to pick 1 Grand Prize Winner. National voting begins at 9 AM on 12/30 and ends at 11:59 PM on 1/8. Patch readers can cast one vote per day during that time. The winner will receive $100,000 to be given to the school system where the winning home is located. So, if "Collingwood Lights" would happen to advance and win, Fairfax County Public Schools stands to benefit from the cash prize. I'll keep you posted as I learn more. For now, keep your fingers crossed that "Collingwood Lights" makes it to the final 24. |
