Local residents are encouraged to get out those (hopefully untangled) strings of holiday lights, dust off Santa, his reindeer and Frosty the Snowman, direct the spotlight at your front door, decorated with a fresh wreath and a bright red bow; come up with a new creative idea but make sure you register in the Caribou Area Chamber of Commerce Holiday Decorating Contest.

According to Jenny Coon, Chamber director, registration forms for the seasonal event are available now at the chamber office at 657 Maine Street (Nylander Museum) or online at www.cariboumaine.net. There is no entry fee but registration is necessary so the judging panel will know where to find your residence.

The deadline for registration is Wednesday, Dec. 14, and judging will take place on Friday, Dec. 16. Prizes will be awarded in three categories, which include: best nighttime outdoor display (residential); best daytime outdoor display (residential) and best business creativity award.
