Announcing the WOODBINE CHALLENGE!!

Chet announces the opening of the 1st Annual Woodbine Challenge.

Calling all Muskies! 

Grab your cameras and "venture" out to collect photos of the lamest half-attempts at Christmas decorating in your neighborhood.

These days, the true spirit of celebrating with poor taste and bad decorating has been lost. For too long, this minimalist approach with cheap decorations, embodied by green celophane-covered doorbells, has been "edged out" by more mainstream factions of lawn and home decorators. We Muskies want to recognize the purveyors of this southwestern Virginia tradition. We'd like to "shed some light" on this vanishing art form.

As always, we have Rules and Regs which must be followed:

1. Decorations may not be tasteful.
1. Tasteful may be acceptable if not fully executed.
2. No large, inflatable decorations may be present.
3. Decoration must have some form of interior or exterior decoration beyond a Christmas tree in the window.
4. Multiple entries are allowed.
5. Photos must be submitted by 12/23/12.
6. A poll will be conducted to determine the "winner" (loser).

Here are a few examples to get those creative juices flowing.

Notice the imbalance of lights. The inability to muster the energy to complete a cohesive holiday decorating scheme has created a masterpiece.

While the large red bow and clean white lights hold the promise of holiday whimsy and charm, this incomplete motif teases the viewer with ultimately unfulfilled expectations.

You've got your challenge, now let's get snappin'!
