Chamber awards house decorating winners

Holiday festivities shifted gears in Grafton this year with the Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce hosting a Home for the Holidays campaign, including a home decorating contest. Josh Branham of BankFiveNine and Annalise Kannenberg of the Chamber (top photo, far right) recently presented awards to three finalists. Taking first place (top photo, from left) were Doreen, Grace and Scott Van Dyke, whose home on Washington Street received the most votes. The runner-up home on Arapaho Avenue (left photo, from left) was decorated by Kenzie, Dave, Sophie and Abby Schroeder. The third-place house is owned by Janine and Andrew Gengler (bottom photo), who showed off their decorations on 12th Avenue.                                                                                          Photos by Sam Arendt
