KILLINGTON- With 25 area businesses competing for the best light
display, Snowed Inn had it's challengers. However, after a full
tour of the field on Dec. 11, all four judges unanimously ranked
Snowed Inn with the highest marks. "Theirs just had the best 'wow'
factor, it was very impressive when we first pulled in," said John
Harniman, a judge representing The Mountain Times. Kate Seymour, a
representative judge from the Town of Killington agreed, "I like
the way everything is lit up, their sign, their entrance, their
roof line, it just looks great!"
The Snowed Inn received a blackout pass from Killington Resort,
a $1,000 ad package from The Mountain Times and a plaque to display
at the Inn.
The runner up award was an even more competitive race, with
Mountain Meadows Lodge, Greenbrier, Northstar Lodge, Birch Ridge
Inn and Santa Fe Steakhouse, among others in the running. When the
votes were tallied it was Greenbrier that edged out the others;
they will also receive a plaque for their well done light
display.
The Festival of Lights was organized in partnership by
Killington Town, The Mountain Times and Killington Chamber of
Commerce, with Killington Resort generously donating the blackout
pass for the winner.
"It's great to see the holiday spirit around town and I am
hoping it will increase again next year!" said Amy Morrison, events
and marketing coordinator for the town.
