The Montgomery Beautification Committee will host its annual Halloween Display Contest to recognize homes and businesses for outstanding Halloween decorations. "We have a lot of creative residents who really get into the Halloween spirit," says Ben Brzoska, Village Trustee and chair of the Beautification Committee. "It is one of our favorite contests to judge, as the residents raise the bar every year."
Residents can nominate their property or someone else's by submitting the property address online at montgomeryil.org. Online nominations are now open through October 20, 2024. Committee members will visit the nominated addresses on the night of October 23 to judge and award the nominee's displays. Residents are encouraged to ensure their lights are on by 5P that evening. The committee kindly asks winners to leave their award signs posted until after Halloween, October 31.
Addresses of the homes awarded are available online after judging is complete for those in the community who wish to drive around and see the community's creativity. Brzoska adds, "From the large skeletons to the tasteful pumpkins, it aids to the community spirit and we love recognizing residents who do their part in making Montgomery a great and fun place to live."
The Village of Montgomery Beautification Committee will accept nominations through Sunday, October 20. Nominate a property via the Village website, montgomeryil.org, or by emailing rmason@montgomeryil.org.
