Lehighton Lighting Contest winners named

Winners of the Lehighton holiday lighting contest have been announced.

The borough’s annual Christmas Decorating Contest was recently judged by the Lehighton Downtown Initiative.

“The Lehighton Downtown Initiative had a wonderful evening driving through town and seeing all of the beautiful decorations,” said Bambi Elsasser, treasurer of the Lehighton Downtown Initiative. “It was such a hard time choosing who the winners would be.”

Categories judged were most nostalgic, whimsical, judge’s choice, best use of lights and most untraditional.

Residential winners will receive a $25 discount on their utility bill, while the top commercial winners will receive a $100 discount on their utility bill.
