2015 Waterville Garden Club Christmas
Decorating Contest Winners

The Waterville Garden Club would like to thank all of those who decorated to celebrate this year’s holiday season. The three judges from out of town were very pleased to see so many beautiful decorations and lights. 
Homes within the village of Waterville were judged in 2 categories, overall effect and doorway. Business were judged separately. Keep in mind the best of the best category is a recognition, separating those who have won over the past two years. This year the judges added the category “most creative use of light”. 
Thank you for keeping the village looking festive!
