Montgomery, IL –The Montgomery Beautification Committee will host its annual Halloween Display Contest to recognize homes and businesses for outstanding Halloween decorations. "We have seen an increase in participation and Halloween decorations in the Village over the last few years; we have some residents that take their fall and Halloween displays to the next level," says Dan Gier, Village Trustee and chair of the Beautification Committee. "Our community realizes the fun in driving around to see the fun displays and decorations."
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 22, 2023. Committee members will visit the nominated addresses on the night of October 25 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. Gier adds, "We have residents that put a lot of time and creativity into their decorations, and we want to recognize those that do their part in making Montgomery an awesome place to live."
The Village of Montgomery Beautification Committee will accept nominations through Sunday, October 22. Nominate a property via the Village website, montgomeryil.org, or by emailing rmason@montgomeryil.org.
