Judges dazzled (From page 3) Street, Prince Albert. Two honourable mention prizes ($25 each) went to Chester Ped- zikowski of Lakeview Street, Caesarea, and Bill Tripp, of Fralick's Beach, Scugog Island. All three homes came within just a few points of each other, and most of the other entries weren't too far behind. That's just it--despite the rash of bulb thefts going on in Durham, the people of Scugog have gone all out in their Christmas decorating. Everywhere the judges travelled, they were faced with a beautiful ar- ray of lights. But surely, none were quite as spectacular as the three winners, particularly the first prize recipients, Stan and Beth Grills. The Grills home, just west of the Prince Albert store, is a sheer joy to behold. Every space on the front lawn is used wisely. Every window is filled with lights. Santa Claus, with his sleigh, waves to passersby, and real candlelight flickers and dances on top of posts strung with garland. It's no wonder hundreds of cars stop in their tracks to marvel at the lights. Stan says he's amazed at the number of people who stop, and at the number who make a point of travelling to his house from all over. Judge Angie Kroonenberg wrote in her comments, "It looks like a mini Cullen Gardens." Judge Pat Webster wrote, "San- ta must really live here! Wonderful looking scene!" Judge John McClelland wrote simply, "VERY NICE!!" The amount of work Stan and Beth put into their display is ob- vious. It takes Stan close to a day to actually put everything up, but he and Beth work -at collecting the decorations all year long. "We go to auction sales in the summer and get them cheap,' Stan admits with a grin. Each Christmas, he manages to add something new. This year, he added four posts, lit up with actual candles enclosed in glass. One Christmas, he added a few huge bells to his collection--he says he found them in a dump! You'd never suspect this however. The bells are real show-stoppers. And although the Grills are famous for their lights, they're also weli known for their garden in the summertime. They won first prize in the Bicentennial beautiful gardens contest. Stan calls his decorating "just a hobby," a hobby all the world can enjoy. Chester and Adele Pedzikowski are also famous for their lights. Like the Grills, each year Chester and Adele add more lights to their yard, making it the most popular stop in all of Cartwright during the Christmas season. Their yard is a virtual fairyland of lights, on trees, on the house, and cven on their swing. Judge Pat Webster wrote, \ lake | his A" SHOPLIFTING IS A CRIME This message sponsored by the Port Perry Star by light show "Twinkling trees are terrific. Great looking show of lights!" Chester is a bit of an expert when it comes to lights--he's been decorating since he was married, and last year, he was one of the judges in the Christmas Lights contest. This year, the Star figured Chester should be able to enter, since he does such a beautiful job. Bill Tripp also does a beautiful job on his lights. His home is at the very end of Fralick"s Beach, but his beacon of lights, on two gigantic TV towers, can be seen forever. Judge John McClelland wrote, "Two tower lights very impressive. Small Christmas tree on roof an added touch. Pretty impressive!" Judge Pat Webster wrote, **Very balanced effect with HIGH impact!" And even though only three win- ners were selected, the judges saw many truly beautiful entries. Even though they were locked in a small van for four and a half hours, they didn't complain--the scenery was just too pretty. Actually, John did a bit of com- plaining when the van got stuck and he had to get out and push!) If you get a chance this holiday season treat yourself to a drive through Scugog.
