Yard Displays Sought For 'Tour of Stafford-Willington Holiday Lights'

STAFFORD-WILLINGTON, CT — The turkey is likely polished off with the rest of the leftovers and that means and the holiday season has shifted into high gear.

For many households in Willington and Stafford, that means it's time for the holiday displays. This year, Patch wants to show them off Wirth original images from readers.

Here's what to do. Send an e-mail with horizontal photos and/or links to videos of your yard displays to chris.dehnel@patch.com by Dec. 18, and we'll include them in a "Tour of Holiday Lights" roundup for the week of Dec. 21.

Whether you are celebrating with a reverent Nativity scene with historically accurate magi, or going secular crazy with a display that can be seen from space, Patch wants to know about it.

Please include the following information with submissions:

• The exact address of the lawn display
• The dates and hours when your display will be available for viewing, so people aren't ringing your doorbell or bothering your neighbors in the middle of the night
• Your display's name, if it has one
• A description of any special effects, such as singing elves, animatronic angels, live reindeer, etc.
• A link to your Facebook page or website, if you have one
• A horizontal photo of the display

A good time to photograph your display is at dusk.

Please submit only high-resolution photos that you have taken yourself or are authorized to post on Patch. By submitting your content to Patch, you are granting us the right to re-publish it on any and all Patch sites.
