First place winner goes to Trina Lohman with her bright and colorful display on Main Street. Her decorations even included a Tiger with a Santa hat, which was fitting being across from St. Regis School. (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)
Out on Highway 135, Second place went to Curtis and Paula Mintz. Santa must have lost his reindeer, so he's improvising with a John Deere. That will surely get the job done! (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)
Up in Cougar Meadows, third place went to Natalie Davis, who was grateful for green grass this year. "Last year with all the snow, my inflatable decorations were really hard to see and got all smushed beneath the weight," she laughed. Some of her favorite holiday decor are hand me downs from her Mom, of a real moving Christmas themed ferris wheel and carousel. Davis encouraged families with children to come and stop by to see for themselves. (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)
