Houston’s affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks announced two Christmas activities this week.
The Houston Community Foundation will sponsor a residential and business holiday lighting contest for those with a City of Houston electric bill. In the home category, first, second and third places will be determined. A first-place winner will be announced in the business category. The first place winner in both categories win $100 off their electric bill in January.
To register, stop by Little House Gifts and more or Houston Herald to complete a form. There is no entry fee, but donations will be accepted. Â Judging is Dec. 19.
Second project
The Grinch has arrived in Houston…another fundraiser of the foundation. The life-size cutout of the Dr. Seuss famous character is appearing in lawns and businesses. He will travel within a three-mile radius of the city. If he lands at your business and home, you’re asked to pay a fee for his removal and you can pick the next location.
Funds raised by the fun will be used to host a free public movie and for other community events.
Persons can learn who “Grinched” them also by paying a small fee.
