It’s that time of the year when the community decorates their homes and business for the Christmas holiday.
Historically the Deming Luna County Chamber of Commerce has coordinated a Christmas Home Lighting Contest. The top three displays received monetary awards to help offset their electric bill. After the judging had taken place, the entries were available to the community to enjoy and see if they agreed with the decision of the judges.
This Christmas season presents a different set of issues. Due to the loss of sponsorships, no monetary awards will be given. However, the Chamber does not want to dampen the holiday season. Chamber volunteers will be driving around the community to identify Christmas displays. A list will be generated and made public so the community may enjoy the efforts of those who decorate their homes or businesses.
Those who are decorating and would like to share their endeavors with more than their immediate neighbors, please contact the Chamber with your address, no names please. The addresses will be provided to the Deming Headlight, KOTS and posted on the Chamber’s website and Facebook pages so families may enjoy the sites of Christmas.
Please contact the Chamber office at 546-2674 for additional questions and to add your address.
