FORT IRWIN, Calif.  — Flying pigs, the Grinch, giant gingerbread houses and Star Wars were just a few of the themes you could see during the Villages’ Festival of Lights holiday decoration contest.

Across the 13 neighborhoods that make up the Villages Housing, there were extravagant light displays, unique projector designs reflected on the homes, creative inflatables and even festive costumes.

Representatives from the Villages, as well as each neighborhood acted as judges over a three-night period and the results were very close.

The top winner in Fort Irwin goes to the family at the address of 4547 Elsenborn Street. The winners for each neighborhood are below. The Villages thanks everyone for participating and making NTC/Fort Irwin bright and cheery over the holidays.
