Kiwanis Club sponsoring holiday decorating contest

Plymouth residents who display red, white and blue, patriotic bunting,  and the American flag to celebrate Independence Day this year could reap a hefty reward for their decorating efforts.
Plymouth Kiwanis Club members are sponsoring an Independence Day House Decorating Contest and are offering a $1,000 downtown Plymouth gift card to the first-place winner. Second place will receive a $500 card and third place honors will include a $250 card. The gift cards are redeemable at more than 150 locations in the city.
Only homes located in Plymouth and Plymouth Township are eligible for the competition.

The event is sponsored by Nancy Caviston of the Caviston Insurance Agency and Patrick O'Neill of Family Legacy Wealth Partners. After completing the entry form available at plymouthkiwanis.com, decorators will be sent an email for submission of a photo of the home. Deadline for submission is June 28 and photos must include the name of the entrant and the address of the home.
The winners will be announced on the website July 1.
The Plymouth Kiwanis Club sponsors the annual 4th of July Parade in the community, hosts the pancake breakfast at the Fall Festival, and manages the popcorn wagon in Kellogg Park. The civic group sponsors multiple charities in the area.
The judges' criteria for the decorating contest will include the overall appearance of the home and the creativity and originality of the decorations.
