Congratulations to the winners of the 2008 Whitehall Decorating Contest, and a special thank you goes to Brian and Stephanie Chase who volunteered to lead the effort this year.
The 2008 winners are listed below, starting with
Most Creative: The Ferralli's.
We do not have a picture of this display because, well, how can you take a picture of such a beautiful and dynamic sight - especially when it keeps changing!
The Erie Times News paid tribute to the creativity of Ian Ferralli in a January 3, 2008 Editorial which stated: "Power surge. In a season of economic doom and gloom, we extend a big thank-you to holiday celebrants for illuminating our streets, lanes and avenues with bright, cheery bursts of lights. The unofficial prize goes to Ian Ferralli, the 16-year-old Fairview High School student who created "Deck the Whitehalls -- 2008," a musical light show at his family's home at 7275 Springside Drive. Visitors tuned into 106.5 FM on the car radio to enjoy the synchronized lights galloping along to the music of "Carol of the Bells." Many others braved the bitter cold and snow to string their houses with displays that made our Yuletide bright. We appreciate your efforts (and your willingness to foot the electric bill)." (We will try to get a video link up as soon as we get our IT Department up and running after the holiday)
