Submit 'Deck the House' Contest Photos by Dec. 16

Did you decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for your local school district and $500 to pay your electric bills!

If you take the time to bling out your home for the holidays--hang lights, arrange lawn decorations, illuminate the Santa on the roof--you should show it off to all of Carroll County! You can do that, and enter to win Patch's contest, by just uploading a photo.

We’re launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America—the best “decked” out house in the country—the one home so spectacularly decorated that everyone in town jokes your holiday decorations could rival Rockefeller Center’s.


If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page between now and Dec. 16 by clicking here.  

Only residents of Patch towns are eligible to enter. We’ll select 24 regional finalists, and from them, pick one grand prize winner. Patch will pay up to $500 towards a utility bill for each finalist, while our national winner will win $100,000 donated to his or her local school district.

Our contest has officially begun, so now’s the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and “deck” your house.

After all, ‘tis the season.......

Congratulations graduates! May you be as successful in the next part of your journey as you were atRead More St. John School.

I don't live in your district and I am not a member of your party. I have watched you during yourRead More meetings with the commissioners and you handle things very well. You have a balance of private and public sector experience which is a necessary background to have to guide the county. It will be nice to have a competent person with your qualifications to run against someone who is totally unqualified but never had any opposition in the last election. Now she will have to attend the voter forums and explin her views and positions. Let the chips fall where they may. The emperor will have no clothes.

Wow, this is great news. Hopefully, 1 down and 4 to go!! Make sure Frazier shows up at theRead More political forums this time. She chose to miss every one last time, so she did not have to answer questions on her positions and her horrible record the first time around in 1998-2002. She will try to do that again to get re-elected.

If Frazier runs for reelection in 2014, I hope someone will have the nerve to ask her pointblank, onRead More camera, about her relationship to Roscoe Bartlett. Folks who've been around Carroll County for a while know the answer: there is no relation. She just tacked that on when she decided to run the first time. It may be her maiden name - or not - but she has never bothered to answer the question. She just let folks assume there is a connection, and lots of folks fell for it.
