The holidays in Ramsey just got a little brighter with the results of the city’s annual Deck the House Lights Contest being declared. The winners of this year's contest have been determined by popular vote, a celebration of festive cheer and some serious wattage. The first prize goes to the radiant display at 15225 Helium St NW, which has apparently dazzled the community with its yuletide glow.
Not falling far behind, the runner-up positions have been snagged by 15839 Peridot St NW and 14951 Juniper Ridge Dr NW, respectively. These homes have also put on a show that could give the Northern Lights a run for their money, well, according to the voters at least. In a festive post, the City of Ramsey's social media account urged residents to "Gather your family and friends and take a tour of all the fantastic holiday light displays homeowners have spent so much time and effort putting together.”
The spirited competition not only lights up the streets but also sparks a sense of community and friendly rivalry among the residents, all in the spirit of the season. These displays aren't just a few twinkle lights and an inflatable Santa; they're intricate masterpieces of luminescent artistry, meticulously planned and executed with the precision of a Broadway stage manager. So, if you're looking to be dazzled, grab your cohort and embark on a self-guided tour of Ramsey's luminous vistas.
The city has made it effortless for light-peepers to find their way to these bedazzled homes by providing an interactive map on their official website, available at www.cityoframsey.com/1036. This tool is perfect for planning an evening of lights, cocoa, and holiday music that, even Scrooge after his ghostly visitations, wouldn't dare miss. "It’s a great way to spend the evening," promises the city's social media post. So, whether you're in it for the LED spectacle, some holiday inspiration, or just a fan of local charm, the 2025 Deck the House Lights Contest winners seem to have something twinkling for everyone.
