The 2008 Downtown Residential Decorating Contest winners were announced today by the Clayton Downtown Development Association. All residential neighborhoods within the boundaries of Robertson Street to the west, US 70 to the south, town limits to the north and US 70 to the east were considered. Categories are Most Traditional, Most Creative, Best Neighborhood Block, and Best Overall. Anonymous, out-of-town judges were driven through downtown’s residential neighborhoods on the evening of December 10. Winners and Honorable Mentions each received a certificate.
DDA Chair Joyce Blackley said that, “We are trying to build downtown Clayton as a “Decoration Destination” for people to visit when they’re out looking at holiday decorations.” She added, “We hope the contest helps to develop that kind of spirit in our downtown residents.”
