Quite a few people contacted me interested in the First Annual 20PM Community Christmas Light Contest after the news of it was posted last week. Several people mentioned that they would love to get involved, but for various reasons they would be unable to decorate the outside of their home with Christmas lights, so I started brainstorming another contest that anyone in the community could participate in. About this time, we were working on finalizing the details for the first ever 20PM event/get together - the 20PM Community Christmas Party - and we came up with a great idea - the 20PM Community Christmas Extravaganza will now include the First Annual 20PM Community Christmas Cookie Contest.

Like the Community Christmas Light Contest, further details will be coming soon. For now, I can say that the contest will be judged at the first annual 20PM Community Christmas Party on Sunday, December 14th - we’ll be allowing anyone who is interested to vote for their favorite cookies at the party, and winners will be announced before the end of the party. The contest is open to anyone and everyone, and thus far, the only rule is no store bought cookies - let’s showcase our best family and secret recipes at this event!

Stay tuned for more information, and start working on your cookie recipes!
