Bristow News will this year be hosting the Light Up Bristow Christmas Lights Contest. The paper reported in last week's edition that the Bristow Chamber was sponsoring this event, which normally happens each year. This was due to a flyer that had been circulated and posted on social media. The paper later found that this was not an event that was going to be sponsored by the chamber as at this time Bristow does not have an active chamber and the event was not going to take place. Dealing with the effects of this pandemic, the community has had to cancel a lot of its yearly events and feeling that the community needs to have some kind of normality and to help share in the holiday spirit, the Bristow News decided to step in and host the contest.
From now until 4:30 p.m. Dec. 17, 2020, you may pick up an application for the contest at the newspaper offce or at SpiritBank. Judging will take place on Dec. 18, 2020, starting at 7 p.m. The winner will be announced on Monday, Dec. 21, by phone.
The judging will be on originality and lighting, hence “Light Up Bristow”. The first place winner will receive $150, second place gets $100 and third place will receive $50. So pull out all those Christmas decorations and lets see how much we can make Bristow glow and share the holiday spirit with the community. If you are unable to make it to SpiritBank or the newspaper offce to pick up an application or you are concerned about being out in public due to the virus, give us a call at (918) 367-2282 and it can be done over the phone. All that is needed to enter is your name, address and phone number where you can be notified if you are the winner.
