The Town of Essex is helping residents get in the holiday spirit with a little friendly competition.
The Arts, Culture & Tourism Committee is hosting the Candy Cane Lane Christmas Light and Decorating Contest.
Residents can submit their home address or a range of addresses in their neighbourhood to be considered for judging. A prize will be given out for an individual home and for a group of homes competing in the competition. Submissions will be accepted until December 2.
Residents have the chance to win over $1,700 in Essex Centre Winter Downtown Dollars, sponsored by the Essex Centre BIA.
The Town of Essex will publish a map of participating houses so residents and visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour.
The town is also hosting Jingle Ring with Santa. An online event for families to interact with Santa and his elves.
