David Reese said he and his family have been putting up their display spanning three yards for 29 years. ‘Beginning with my late father Fordyce, being passed down to my late brother and I, and now my daughter and I enjoy the tradition. Some of our decorations have been around since 1990. We simply enjoy doing this for the magic of Christmas for all the families and children. We begin preparing for set up in late October and push to have everything ready for light up on Thanksgiving. It takes roughly a month.’
Amy Tuerk said, ‘We absolutely love Victorian homes, and we just moved into this new home in Coudersport over the fall. People would tell us it looks like the Christmas Story house with the colors, so we choose to use C9 bulbs and purchase a leg lamp! I wish Christmas was all year long! It takes a long time to get everything out and ready just for a month.’
Contest winners Allie and Chip Sinnamond said, ‘We decorate every year for the holidays! We love Christmas! We love the timeless colors of white and red along with our sweet snowman.’
Ron Shroeder said he has been decorating for the holidays for many years just as his father, Bill Shroeder, did. He said his nativity set is what makes his decorations unique and that it takes him two to three days to complete the decorations.
