Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2020 Holiday Hop(e). This month's Sand Tracks includes details on the event and photos of the decorated houses. While there were several contenders for the Griswold Award, the most votes went to Carmen Hernandez at 11 W. Lake Front Drive.
A sincere thank you to all who donated, the response was overwhelming. Since we are still receiving donations, we'll leave the donation button up until the end of the month.
2020 Griswold winner Carmen Hernandez, 11 W. Lake Front Drive.
This year 100% of the proceeds from the Holiday Hop will go to the Westchester Neighbors Food Pantry located in Chesterton, IN. We are asking for a minimum donation of $25. For each donation, you'll receive one holiday-themed mask and a map of the decorated homes.
The Westchester Food Pantry has been operating for over 30 years, supporting over 150 families in the Porter County area. Learn more about the food panty here.
