Communities in Cornelius, Clifford, Montgomery, Rock Falls and Jackson are inviting residents to take part in local Halloween home-decorating contests. The contests offer ways to show off seasonal displays, with formats ranging from public voting and tours of decorated homes to committee judging and awards. Clifford’s contest includes four judged categories and prizes, while Cornelius separates entries into “Spooky & Scary” and “Fun & Festive”; Montgomery also accepts nominations for decorated homes and businesses. Jackson residents must register and pay a $5 fee by Oct. 5, with homes ready for judging by Oct. 22, while other communities have their own registration and judging schedules. The events are promoted as opportunities for friendly competition and community spirit.
