Last Chance to Enter Deck the House Contest, Cedar Falls!

Your holiday lights could win $100,000 for Cedar Falls schools.


They say most pictures are worth 1,000 words, but one of your decorated home could be worth so much more to the Cedar Falls School District.

It could buy 200 iPads, more than 74,000 high school lunches, or 300,000 No. 2 pencils for your school.

Patch.com is in the midst of a nationwide contest to find the best dressed home in its Patch communities, and the winner’s school district will receive $100,000. 

Through today, you can nominate your home by uploading a photo to the contest entry form on the site.
