The winning home in this year’s Central Agencies Christmas Light-Up Contest is owned by Clayton and Kate Rogers (right). Their decorating excellence has earned this couple, along with daughters Gabrielle and Elizabeth, runner-up honours several times in recent years. This year’s judging team picked the Rogers’ property, at 5322-51 Street, Camrose, to be best dressed for this season! Their addition of a reverse projection outdoor screen playing family-friendly Christmas movies with sound nightly; a Christmas countdown timer; and a GPS-calculated distance sign-post to the North Pole all scored highly with the judging duo. The large, fifty-year old nativity scene, a focal point in the expansive frontyard display, kept Christ in Christmas for the judges, as did the striped, handbuilt candy-canes – another everlasting symbol of the season. The family effort, which starts annually right after Remembrance Day, takes almost thirty hours to set up, typically over three weekends. For their win, the Camrose Booster has presented $100 to the family to assist with their power bill. Central Agencies has donated $200 to their preferred charity – Camrose Kinettes Club Silent Santa Program. For more details, turn to page 24 of this edition.
