2006 HOLIDAY DECORATIONS CONTEST BULLETIN

PROGRAM

Recreation participants and leaders decorate their facility for the winter holiday season. Themes could include Christmas, New Year's, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, winter, winter activities, winter sports, etc.
The Recreation staff should decide which parts of the facility will be decorated. Decorated areas should include entrances and bulletin boards, and could include windows, doorways, offices, etc. It is not necessary to decorate the entire facility. Judges will look for quality, not quantity.
Many facilities have always decorated the building for the holiday season. This competition strives to recognize the best of them and encourage others to join in.
