Enter Patch's “Deck the House” Contest For a Chance to Win $100,000

Did you decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for your local school district and $500 to pay your electric bills!

We’re launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America — the best “decked” house in the country — the one home so spectacularly decorated that everyone in town jokes your holiday decorations could rival Rockefeller Center’s. If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page between Nov. 26 to Dec. 16 to deckthehouse.patch.com/contest/herndon.  Only residents of Patch towns are eligible to enter. We’ll select 24 regional finalists, and from them, pick one grand prize winner. Patch will pay up to $500 of the utility bill for each finalist, while our national winner will have $100,000 donated to his or her local school district. So, what are you …

Great points Ann, I am slowly converting things to LED as I go along. Most recent being an LED television. With the timers, definitely don't buy the low end cheapest ones. In all, they are still pretty economical for a quality one.   more ›

Photos: Haunted Herndon Celebrates Halloween

Herndon residents are celebrating Halloween this week.

Some of Herndon's residents love to go all out when it comes to Halloween, especially in the neighborhoods on and near Spring and Nash streets. The residents at 610 Spring Street are well known for their decor, which includes lights, ghosts, gouls, inflatibles and a Halloween countdown. To learn more about the history of this haunted house, check out this 2011 Remembering Herndon's History Column.  What are your favorite homes or neighborhoods in Herndon decorated for Halloween? Any displayed that make you feel particularly spirited? Upload your own photos here!
