Here's a copy of what I sent to the local newspaper outlets (even though neither of them opted to publish...which was kind of a bummer...but we still had tons of fun doing this anyway).
Delta, Ohio, October 29, 2019: If you enjoy Halloween then you probably enjoy driving around looking at
your community homes to view the extravagantly lavish displays of ghoulishness
and witchery.
Two Fulton County
citizens have been doing just that for the past few years, driving around the Village of Delta admiring Halloween home décor. They decided that the most FAB-BOO-LOUS
displays summoned an award!
This year, Rachel
Dickson and Christina Summers of Delta had trophies made to bequeath upon the
appropriate winners. “We thought it
would be grand fun to walk up to some strangers door in our community in honor
of their creativeness and effort and hand them a trophy for having such lavish
Halloween décor displayed,” Rachel said.
“Our communities deserve simple acts of good will. Just because.”
The categories selected were, “Most Creative”,
“Most Elaborate” and “Most Creeptastic.” Thursday evening Dickson and Summers
drove the streets of Delta deciding which homes would be pronounced winners of
the 2019 Halloween Homes Décor contest.
The 2019 winners
are:
Most Creative:
202 Adrian,
Delta. Thom Gorman and Bonnie Weimer-Gorman
Most Elaborate:
406 Palmwood, Delta. Paul and Ashley Todd
Most Creeptastic:
308 N. Madison,
Delta. Allen and Sheila Naiber
“We were glad
folks were home when we knocked on the door. It was absolutely fantastic to see
the elated reactions of everyone we presented trophies to,” Christina Summers
said. “Congratulations to this year’s
winners and we’re excited to see what next year will bring.”
And if you're wondering...yes, the choices for some of the categories were a bit difficult to choose. There are some SERIOUS Halloween decorators who live in Delta, Ohio. It was tons of fun to walk up to each winners front door and present their award. All were very thrilled and excited to be awarded our fun trophies!
SEE, artistic, creative ability comes in all shapes and sizes. I'll always tip my hat to anyone who chooses to express their creativity in whatever form its presented. Here here!!
