If you’d like to join in but won’t be able to decorate by December 06, 2019 – no worries. You can still participate and be included on the voting list and map.
Businesses, you’re more than welcome to participate if you only decorate inside your location. We can all use a handy place to warm up!
Want to recommend a favourite location of yours? Let us know about your “Reindeer Recommendation” on the reindeer picture Light Up Our High River Facebook group. They won’t be part of the contest but others can still enjoy the lights and decorations as much as you do.
Entries Are In! What next?
Grab something warm to drink, fill the car or head out on foot, and enjoy the lights!
Use the online and pdf maps to plan your route. A few outings may be in order to leisurely enjoy seeing all the lights.
