After discussing, scary clowns, ghosts, candy out of canons, a haunted tunnel, yoga skeletons and Dexter among the unique and creative displays this year, and struggling with a very difficult decision, they have determined the following people as the front-runners of this years’ event.

In the COMICAL CATEGORY First place goes to Elizabeth and Dodd Harris. Second Place is awarded to the Henley Family. And Third Place winners are the Marks Family. This year the Innovation Award is given in the Comical category to the Marks Family for their creative uniqueness and individuality.
