This October, you might have seen more extensive and extravagant house decorations in Kewaunee County due to the Kewaunee county chamber of commerce and their first year of a Halloween house decorating contest. Their contest encouraged families and people from the county to decorate their houses with Halloween spirit. Those who decorated their home were invited to send in an entry to be included as an option for the community to vote on at the end of the month. Renae Schlies, the administrative assistant for the chamber, describes how the contest originated and how it has impacted the community.

With this being their first year hosting this challenge, Schlies did state that this may become an annual occurrence if the public finds it to be something they would like to see again. Although the date for entries has passed, you are invited to visit the Kewaunee County chamber of commerce’s social media platforms to send in your votes. The results will be announced through the chamber’s social media either late Sunday or on Monday morning.
