First Ever Halloween Lighting Contest

Update: October 19, 2020
Dateline: Sept. 29, 2020

The Allenstown Economic Development Committee (EDC) is sponsoring a Townwide Halloween Lighting Contest this season. We know there are many people who love to decorate their homes in the Fall, so we decided to turn it into a special townwide event as part of our Community Initiatives.

Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the Awards Ceremony at Blueberry Express Park (Town Hall lawn) on Friday, October 30th at 5:00 p.m. Awards for the Best Halloween Decorations include 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies and gift certificates to local businesses.

Halloween is on October 31st and we hope the powers that be do not prohibit kids from trick-or-treating.

Write a Spooky Story

The EDC also would like to challenge school students to write a short spooky story and read it at the awards ceremony. That will make the event especially memorable. Contact the EDC if you would like to do that.

What You Need to Do

First, you need to register your Allenstown home. Hurry up and send an e-mail to the EDC.

Second, from now until October 11th, we want all Allenstown residents to keep checking the Halloween Lighting Contest web page to see the homes that are participating in the contest.

Wait until October 11th to vote because we will keep adding addresses until then.

Third, drive around town and check out all the decorated homes. Decide which one you like the most.

Fourth, send e-mail with your vote to the EDC between October 11th and October 29th. You may vote for your own decorations since that guarantees you at least one vote.

Fifth, come to the Halloween Lighting Awards Ceremony on the Town Hall lawn on Friday, October 30th at 5:00 p.m. and celebrate!
