BRATTLEBORO — Get ready to challenge your neighborhood, your friends, and your family to help “Light Up Brattleboro.”
The Brattleboro Recreation & Parks Department invites everyone to transform their front yard, apartment, or house into a bright and decorative celebration of winter to help bring joy and light into the lives of others.
“We encourage all of Brattleboro to come together and light up the sky,” organizers of the activity said in a news release.
Below are the steps to participate in the challenge:
• Decorate your lawn, apartment, or house in lights and festive decorations. Family-friendly decorations on your house, apartment, or front yard are acceptable, and if you live in an apartment or duplex, you are still more then welcome to join if the lights are visible from the street.
• Once your masterpiece is done, take a clear photo with your lights and decorations and send it to [email protected] by Sunday, Dec. 13. In this email, one must provide the street you live on and a “display name” that organizers describe as “fun, appropriate and unique.”
• Keep your creations lit from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. until Dec. 31.
• On Dec. 14, the department will make a post on its Facebook “Brattleboro Recreation and Parks Department” page with all the submitted yard photos. A list of street names will be provided so families can tour all the local lights.
