The Allenstown Economic Development Committee (EDC) announced the Second Annual Halloween Lighting Contest this season. There are many people who love to decorate their homes in the Fall, so here is an opportunity to be part of a special townwide event as part of the EDC Community Initiatives.

Here is the schedule of activities:

Oct. 1 to Oct. 15 – Register your house decorations
Oct. 15 to Oct. 29 – Vote for best decorations
Oct 30, 4:00 p.m. – Attend Awards Ceremony featuring prizes for Best House

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

What You Need to Do

First, starting on October 1st, you need to register your Allenstown home. Send an e-mail to the Halloween Contest Registration Address. Include your name, address, and a photo of your decorations. The photo is required so that others can preview your decorations and then find them after dark.
