For over a decade Walden Lake has held their annual Christmas light display contest.
Homes within each subdivision not only shine bright for all to see, but the yearly contest allows community members to come together and decorate the entrance to their subdivision for the holiday season. Then a panel of judges — none of which are residents within Walden Lake — take their tour around the neighborhood, take notes, mark down their favorite entrances and ultimately decide which subdivisions did enough to rise above the rest.
In past years the contest was judged in two separate categories, traditional and illumination. Each category would have a first, second and third place winner, along with two honorable mentions, while one subdivision was awarded the grand prize. This year, however, there were no categories, awarding one grand prize winner as usual, followed by first, second and third place overall.
The winners of the 2021 Walden Lake Decorating Contest are as follows:
Grand Prize: Clubhouse Woods
1st Place: Fairway Estates
2nd Place: Aston Woods
3rd Place: Silverstone
Honorable Mention: Parkwood, Walden Oaks
