By James Kent

It’s time to go light-peeping! The Light Up Rutland County winter lights and decorating contest is in full swing, with nine competing households, two non-competing households, and a local business decorator all ready for visitors to come see their lights.

Videos and slideshows for school decorators will be posted on Social Tinkering’s website after Dec. 20. On the site, people can access the 2024 lights map, check out Social Tinkering’s generous sponsors, and cast votes for their favorite in each category. All voters are automatically entered into a prize drawing to win one of five gift cards donated by Rutland County businesses. Voting runs until Jan. 4th. Social Tinkering will announce the decoration contest winners and voter raffle the second week of January.

Take an evening drive around Rutland County and see some inspiring light displays that are sure to put you in a festive mood.
