The Colonial Hills Civic Association

Residents lit their luminaries on Sunday, December 19th. The surprising snow cover this December made a good backdrop. Thanks to Will Pearce for his third year of organizing this event, and to all the volunteers who turned out to put the kits together. We also note that more people turned out at the Shelter House for hot coco and to socialize than any recent year! Enjoy your Holidays and we’ll see you next year!

The Colonial Hills Holiday Decorating Contest for 2011 results are now available.

The four judges were out from 7 pm until 9:45 pm on Thursday, December 16th, and had a hard time making their final decisions. They wanted to offer honorable mention 528 Meadoway, 280 E. Selby and 337 E. Selby, and noted with amusement the attempted bribe of a bottle of Bourbon that was left on the porch of 175 Kenbrook Drive. The winners they selected were mailed $10 gift certificates to the Anthony Thomas Candy Store across from Graceland Shopping Center.
