Sign up for Neighborhood of Lights!

The Fifth Annual Neighborhood of Lights will once again light up the community in December. This mapped tour of homes decked out in holiday displays is becoming a favorite tradition here in Somersett. Children and adults alike appreciate seeing their community sparkle with the spirit of their neighbors’ decorating efforts as they vote for their favorite displays.

This year we are thrilled to welcome a special guest – a fire truck from Reno Fire Department will lead our Holiday Caravan on Sunday, Dec. 12. Golf carts and other vehicles decked out in holiday lights and decorations will follow the fire truck through the streets of Somersett, waving and spreading holiday cheer to all who come out to greet them.

We hope you will consider entering your home to be entered into our contest and featured on our map of decorated homes. Categories are:

• Classic: Traditional decorations
• Griswold: Over-the-top fun
• Young People’s Choice: Displays which appeal to those under age 17
• Just Decorating: You have holiday decorations that your neighbors might enjoy, but you don't want your display to be voted on. All addresses in this category will be entered into a raffle for a prize.
• Best Street: Get together with a few of your neighbors and enter your street in this coveted category. To qualify for this category, a minimum of four homes on your street must participate.

To enter, fill out this Neighborhood of Lights entry form on Somersett.org or email Robin Bolson at [email protected] or call her at 775-787-4500, ext. 324. The deadline to enter is Dec. 1. Touring and voting start on Dec. 2. Stay tuned for more information.

WHEN TO DECORATE? SOA Rules & Regulations state that December decorations may be put up starting on Thanksgiving (Nov. 25) and must be removed by Jan. 31.
