The winners of the Jefferson County “Deck the House” contest were recently announced.
Three winners from each participating community were named, one for each of three categories: most elegant, best holiday spirit and Clark Griswold, where “any color lights, props, inflatables, roof top and yard décor that can be seen from outer space fits,” according to the official voting form.

Winners in Whitewater were:

Most elegant: 190 Locust Lane
Best holiday spirit: 1127 W. Walworth Ave.
Clark Griswold: 216 S. Locust Lane

Winners in Cambridge, Fort Atkinson, Ixonia, Jefferson, Johnson Creek, Lake Mills and Watertown may be found here. Here’s a link to the house map.

Coincidentally, (or perhaps not surprisingly), Matt Wojtkunski wrote to the Banner to say that his street, Locust Lane, has a few houses lit up in a row, and his home is animated to music. The show runs from 4:30ish to 10 p.m. Tune to 88.5 FM. “We love the holidays and enjoy doing something like this for the community,” Matt wrote.

Also, here are pictures that Paul Jhona sent of the roof at Standard Process in Palmyra.
