Some bright winners

The residential and business winners of Valley Service Organization's (VSO) Annual Lighted Contest were recently announced by the local non-profit. The contest, which includes any resident and business that has put up lights for the holiday, is judged annually by the residents of the Saratoga Care Center.

This year, due to current health orders, the residents of the care center were shown photos of the various lighted buildings throughout Saratoga in lieu of driving around town. The residential winner, who received $25 in Chamber Bucks, was Pat Vining. The business winner, Strong Tower Design, was gifted a box of Christmas chocolates.

Last year's residential winners were Joe and Amy Johnston and the business winner was Shively's Hardware. Winners from the previous year are automatically excluded from the following year's competition.
