2017 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 enjoyed driving around to judge the homes around Waterville.
As always, the homes within the village of Waterville were judged in 2 categories, over 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 following categories: "DRUM ROLL......... The Griswold's Family Christmas", "Country Christmas", and "Creative use of lights". This allows us to recognize those who seemed to go above and beyond all others. Please take a chance to drive around the village and enjoy the sights!
Thank you for keeping the village looking festive!
