The Dec 20th date only refers to the voting being complete. This gives us time to get the winners their “swag” and retrieve & transfer the funds for the beneficiary.

Does your church or organization have a van? Why not plan a family & friends Lights Night?!

Simply print out this image of the flier and hand it out to your group so they can vote on their favorites. Designate one person (not the driver! 🫣) as the navigator and use the map to go from house to house.

Be sure to swing downtown to enjoy the new City of Huntington, WV displays at Pullman Square and Mountain Health Arena, too. Lots of holiday photo opps and the perfect makings of a “Good Old Fashioned Family Christmas.” - Clark Griswold

Then, wrap up the evening with a warm cup of hot cocoa back at your starting point to continue celebrating the holiday season. ☕️

We are ahead of schedule and that's great because tonight is the perfect night to check out some festive lights!!

This link will take you to a list of all the houses participating this year. There really isn't an "order" to the houses; we tried to group them the best we could, but luckily, there is a link and code on it to a map. This is a Google Map and should start from wherever you are and list the houses in the order based on location. The other link/code will take you directly to the voting site!

We hope you enjoy this year's Holiday Road!! We have 20 participants this year and your votes will benefit the Cabell County Public Library system!

Happy Holidays!
