Seven homes and one business decided to participate in the second annual Becker Community Center  Deck the House Christmas lighting contest this year.

The homes and businesses were spread out through the city and many other properties not necessarily participating in the contest adorned their homes and yards as well.

Voting for the top home or business was conducted online at the BCC website with photos and addresses. Community voting ended Wednesday with formal announcements on winners Friday.

The categories for the contest were: community favorite, Mayor’s choice, best daylight Holiday display and best storefront display.
