Freehold Borough’s annual holiday decorating Contest was held recently. On Dec. 13, children from local elementary schools judged decorated homes in town while being escorted by adult drivers from the Freehold Borough Recreation Commission and from Freehold Beautiful, Inc.
All homes were viewed, as long as their lights were on. After judging, the students were treated to pizza at Stefano’s Pizza Café.
First place was awarded to Dave Graham of 9 Cottage Place. Second place was awarded to Donna Mayrose of 8 Lenoir St. Third place was awarded to Joe, JoAnne and Danielle Mania at 17 Douglas Road.
The Court Jester was the winner of the commercial division.
In addition, 21 other houses in Freehold were recognized for their lights and decorations. Certificates of award and prizes were presented at a ceremony held in front of the Hall of Records building Dec. 17. Refreshments were provided by the Court Jester.
