*Reminder Time to Register for 2022 Christmas Light Contest*
"How 'bout Them Lights?"
Dateline: Nov 9, 2022
The Allenstown Economic Development Committee (EDC), in collaboration with the ARD Student Council and the ARD School Chorus is sponsoring the
Fourth Annual Christmas Light Contest
Many of you may be feeling gloomy, uncertain, or frustrated in these days of high inflation, high gas prices, high food prices, high crime rates, and high numbers of illegal aliens invading our southern border, but we all need something to hope for. For many, Christmas is just such a time and decorating your home with lights can make one feel hopeful. So if you are decorating the outside of your home, we hope you will register your home for this contest.
To make the occasion more festive and enjoyable, the ARD Student Council will hold a bake sale with refreshments to enjoy. Also, Michael Kenyon, ARD Music Teacher, will lead the ARD Music Chorus in a round of Christmas Carols.
