Winners of the VSO Lighting Contest

Winners of Valley Service Organization's annual lighting and decoration contests are Patrick and Stephanie Patterson, whose home at 234 Condit Court, across from the number two tee at the Saratoga Hot Springs golf course, lights up the residential area in fantastic fashion and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Pictured in their front yard with a huge Santa are the Pattersons, with Patrick receiving the $25 award from VSO member Cheryl Ervin, while Stephanie wrangles the couple's two children, Tinsley and Bridger.

Winning the commercial division was Koyoty Sports. Cheryl Ervin presented the box of chocolates awarded to commercial enterprises to owners Warden and Kathleen Patzer.

VSO has been awarding prizes for best decorated homes and businesses for many years.
