Wonder Lake Xmas Displays Judged Thursday Jane Ducey Thursday is the witching hour (or whatever it is called at Christmas time, says Mary Lou Hartog) when the judges will be coming to your house to look at your Christmas display. The judges will start at 6:30 from Hancock Drive, go south through the Deep Spring Woods, Shore Hills, Wooded Shores and Wonder View subdivisions. They will continue via~Rt. 120 to Highland Shores. Sunrise Ridge, White Oaks Bay, Wonder Woods, and the area north of the dam. They will return through Hickory Falls, Look Out Point, Indian Ridge, Feyerer's and Wonder Center. The commercial displays will be viewed first because several of them will be closed later in the evening. When the viewing is over "the judges will meet to discuss their findings and determine the dinners. Points are given for originality. Christmas spirit, and the amount of work obviously done by the contestant. Each judge does his own scoring during the trip and the winners are picked from the pooled votes and points. The judges do not know the names of the people whose homes are judged. Each home is given a number and no names are given out until the voting is completed. The names are then written on slips of paper, put in envelopes and sealed. No one except the judges knows who the winners are until the night of the party when the trophies will be given out. There are forty-eight homes in the contest and seven commercial entries. Party invitations have been sent to all contestants. Party and trophies will take place Dec. 17. GOOD LUCK.
