Councilwoman Tracey Edwards, the Town of Huntington and Long Islander News present winners of the first-ever Town of Huntington Holiday Decorating Contest.

In what is sure to become a holiday tradition, residents sent photographs of their holiday displays. A panel of judges selected the best of several categories, and on Dec. 19, after visits to the finalists’ homes, the overall winners were selected.

It wasn’t easy. There were many unique, creative and wonderful traditions, representing many faiths and cultures. Congratulations to the grand prize winners: the Dillon family of Northport, the Laguerre family of Huntington, the Mosera family of Huntington Station.

Thanks to the judges: Councilwoman Tracey Edwards; NYS Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci; Huntington Superintendent of Highways Pete Gunther; Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer; and Long Islander News Associate Publisher Peter Sloggatt.

Happy holidays to all. We’re looking forward to next year!
