There was a decorating for St. Patrick’s Day contest leading up to the walk where folks put up “Get Your Green Lights On and Show Your Shamrocks” decorations at their homes, with about twenty homes doing their porches and windows in mostly green and white lights and banners.

People then voted for who they thought had the best display. The winners of the contest were:

The organizers plan to make the decorating contest an annual event along with the parade which is tentatively planned to hold for September, halfway to St. Patrick’s Day 2022.
