Outdoor Christmas decorations. Dianne Garrett reports.

Members of the Whitehall Community Celebration Association (WCCA) cruised the city looking for decorated houses for this year's annual competition. Three were chosen from each ward, and photos displayed at the December 13 Breakfast with Santa. Attendees cast ballots to vote on their favorites, but only one was the over all winner. Each first place winner will receive a plaque, and all others a certificate. They ranked as follows:

Ward 1
First 198 N. Yearling Road

Ward 2
