Holiday Spirit Award Judging on December 17th
Holiday Spirit Award Judging on December 17th
Congratulations Lakemoor Hills … you have been decorating your homes making the season merrier! Our panel of elf judges are excited to get out and tour the neighborhood to pick their favorites for our annual Holiday Spirit Awards. This will occur the night of Sunday Dec 17th so be sure to leave your lights on late as these elves don’t have a set schedule (elves get distracted easily!). Enjoy the holidays and light your homes so your neighbors can enjoy them especially us night owls and elves.
Holiday Spirit Awards Outline:
All aspects of a home’s holiday spirit are considered…not just the brightest lights. Four homes are awarded. Past winners of the award are ineligible for judging for three years after they were awarded. Winners will be announced on the LHHA website and FB site along with an award sign placed in the front of their Christmas Palace. Up to 5 Honorable Mentions will be awarded too with the same 3 year ineligibility after a previous award. A tasteful sign will be placed in your yard. The signs will be picked up around New Years so please leave them in their place. Do not discard them.
There is no popular vote this year.

Denise Gough is a recovering lawyer who, after more than 20 years practicing in the entertainment industry, retired to follow her passion for wine. For over 5 years, Denise pursued that passion as the primary educator and wine team member at Total Wine & More in Turkey Creek. She recently retired again but still pursues her love of wine, beer, and spirits through her “Drinking with Denise” page on Facebook and through private tastings, consultations, and events. She has traveled to California more than a dozen times (including working harvest at Amici Cellars) and has traveled to Italy and Bordeaux on wine tasting adventures.
Your generous financial support has made this year’s Happy Hours, and this event possible. This is the biggest event for Happy Hour to date and we need replenish the bank account. Donations are vital and greatly appreciated. Please help keep Happy Hour going for 2024 and beyond!
