The Ansonia Cultural Commission and Valley Arts Council have announced the ward and citywide winners for the 2012 Deck your House and Yard Contest.
We congratulate each of the winners and all of the entrants. Judging was as difficult this year as last year since each entered home was decorated with such Christmas spirit.
Having said that, it was the commission and arts council’s pleasure to judge the houses.
The citywide winner for “bragging rights” is Ward 2, 191 Prospect St.
The winners by ward are:
- Ward 1: 12 West Brookside Avenue, Fred Baker and Paula Abbati
- Ward 2: 191 Prospect Street, Ron and Carolyn Steeves
- Ward 3: 158 Hodge Avenue, John and Linda Gentile
- Ward 4: 11 May Street, Rob Librandi
- Ward 5: 209 Wakelee Avenue, John and MaryAnne Checkley
- Ward 6: 48 Highland Avenue, Bill Webster
- Ward 7: 7 Birchwood Drive, Bob Meyernick
We hope that each year the contest will grow larger and larger with more homes entering.
A red bow has been placed at each winning home.
The first Deck your Firehouse Contest resulted in a tie for “bragging rights” between Charters Company 4 and Hilltop Company 5.
All are invited to the Jan. 8, 2013 Board of Alderman meeting at 7 p.m. in City Hall for the presentation of a small token of appreciation to the winners.
