La Plata Electric Association will hold an exterior holiday lighting competition. Co-op members with the best displays in La Plata and Archuleta counties will win $50 gift cards from local hardware stores.
“Holiday lights, especially when we have a winter wonderland of snow, add a special glow to our communities around the holidays,” LPEA CEO Mike Dreyspring said in a news release. “With the great, new decorative lighting available, we’re excited to encourage our members’ creativity.”
Creativity is important, but participants are required to use LED lights to be eligible for the contest, according to Nancy Andrews, LPEA energy management adviser.
Lighting displays will be judged the week of Dec. 18, and members who plan to decorate their homes should inform LPEA by Dec. 1 to participate.
