11th Annual Light Up New Melle Winners

Blondin Real Estate hosted its 11th Annual Light Up New Melle Contest in December. There were several spectacular entries this year.
As always, the judges enjoyed driving through the community and taking in all the beautiful displays from so many talented individuals.
Maureen Blondin expressed her gratitude to every participant, “The pride and joy invested by the entrants were clearly evident. We have appreciated everyone’s efforts over the past 11 years!” “Thank you to all the wonderful judges who take time out of their busy December schedules to judge the Annual Light Up New Melle Contest. Start planning your display for next year.”
