I was hoping to have some nice shots of the lunar eclipse to share... alas, it is cloudy here. We caught a few glimpses of the moon through the clouds about 1:15, but then heavy clouds moved in. I came home and watched it on NASA tv.
Happy solistice! (@6:38 p.m.)

Light Up the Holidays!Category: holiday
I drove home today to judge Blossburg V.I.B.E.'s annual Light Up the Holidays contest. My pix didn't turn out as nice as last years (e:heidi,50622) - I haven't been practicing :-( Jill, Kelly & I were very attracted to the white lights & greens theme this year, so there's not quite as much diversity of style as there usually is. We almost always go for houses that are fully done - if you've got something on the roof, oh yeah, you're a contender.
First, the five winners:
Victorian
Best business
Best overall/whimsical
Modern
Most Christmas Spirit
Other ones I took pix of that we were considering
I love this house and how it's decorated - very simple and elegant. I used to live across the street.
The Arctic Cat dealer almost won best business display with this awesome light tree.
I think these folks won two years ago - they have a full style but if they'd just trace that top roofline, I'd think it was excellent for "most Christmas spirit" or "whimsical".
I'm sooo proud that our historic theater is now open!!!! The owner is president of VIBE and thus not eligible to win. But isn't it gorgeous??
The antique popcorn machine is popping popcorn like it's new!
Inside. It seats around 200. Tom & Tonya have been having concerts and second run movies - right now it's Tangled, a new Disney movie based on the Rapunzel story. They're having a free Christmas Eve matinee showing. Movies are cheap, concessions are cheap... You gotta check it out!
The bathroom signs are just classics. I don't know if they're original (~1913?) or from the 1965 rehab.

Last year's best business display winner the Window Box Flower Shop, wasn't eligible this year, but they have another beautiful display.
Jill & Kelly eating popcorn from the movie theater. The bag reads, "This bag is manufactured using environmentally friendly EcoSelect paper." We're just that green in Blossburg. :-)

Nice pictures... I should go around looking for lighting displays around the hood before they take them down.
