Winners of the annual Christmas Home Decorating Contest have been announced. This year’s contest was co-sponsored by the North Baltimore area Chamber of Commerce and Hancock –Wood Electric Cooperative.

There didn’t seem to be as many houses decorated this year. But, those that were decorated were more elaborate than usual as many included figures, trees, wreathes, and scenes in addition to their lights.
