The Wallkill community is strong with the holiday spirit this season. Many homes and several businesses decorated their sidewalks and front yards with a multitude of lights, giant inflatables, and ornaments of all kinds to show that Wallkill is bright and beautiful. Vision of Wallkill recognizes those who took the time to share their pride and joined in the “Sparkle and Shine Contest”. The winners are:

Business
1st place - Christmas Tree Lane
2nd place - Brattesani Designs
3rd place - Hudson Valley Chocolates

Traditional:
1st place - 71 Bona Ventura Avenue
2nd place - 119 Viola Street

Passerbys will find the fruits of all these winners’ many hours of labor stringing lights that dazzle and light up the neighborhood. You won’t miss the cheerful welcome at the Christmas Tree Lane entrance or the beautiful outline victorian that won the “Traditional” category. You’ll certainly linger a while as you gaze on the eclectic mix of inflatables of the “Creative” winner. When you drive up to the tied first-place winners, you’ll rock to the tunes with choreographed lights or get hypnotized by the blue lights along the driveway. Winners may come to claim their awards and ribbons at the Town of Shawangunk’s board meeting on January 5, 2023, at 7 p.m.
