Organizer Sharon Davis, who is
the head of the lights committee
created to determine the best way to
decorate Blyth’s downtown core for
the annual Lighting of the Lights
celebration held shortly after
Remembrance Day, said there are
many people in the Blyth area who
are full of the holiday spirit and their
decorations prove it.Those people, however, often liveon side streets and don’t alwaysbring in the recognition their lights
and decorations deserve she says.
“We do have a lot of people who
do decorate very well and a lot of
people who might if they knew there
was this initiative,” Davis explained,
adding the committee were hoping
the contestants would be encouraged
by some local gift certificates.
“We’re looking at getting gifts and
certificates from local businesses touse as prizes.”The competition will be focusedon homes and not local businesses,
Davis said, because she hopes it
encourages some local families to
participate in the event together.
“We’re hoping to get the kids
involved, have them tell their moms
and dads they want to help with the
decorating,” she said.
The committee is hoping to make
the event an annual one, but that will
depend on the participation they see.The judging of the competitionwill be on Dec. 12 with theannouncement being made the
following Saturday, Dec. 14.
Davis said it’s important for the
village to recognize the efforts of the
community members who make an
effort to beautify it with their own
money and on their own time.
“You need to shine a light on
people who don’t always get that
attention,” she said. “It’s not very
often people take a trip down thesideroads. A lot of times people willdrive by without looking. Hopefullythis draws attention to people.”
Davis also mentioned this might
be a way for people to get involved
with their community who feel they
don’t want to participate in more
organized volunteer groups like the
BIA or community service clubs.
