🎄 Christmas Lights Giveaway
Win a $1,200 Holiday Light Install in Denton County
This one’s just for you, What’s Good Denton readers.
To support our first annual sponsor, Ollie’s Jolly Christmas Lights, we’re running a one-time giveaway to give back to the community that’s been with us from the start.
We’re giving one Denton County homeowner a full, done-for-you holiday light install, completely FREE!
We’ll bring the lights, design your display, install them safely, keep them working all season, then take them down and store them for next year. (Value: $1,200+)
Why We’re Doing This
Every December, we see the same things:
Parents climbing shaky ladders.
Grandparents trying to untangle lights from the attic.
Families who want a festive home but don’t know where to start.
We want to change that for one household this year and hopefully for many more in the years to come.
Who Can Enter
Must own a detached home in Denton County
Home must be accessible for a ladder install
Must be available for a short design consult in September
Agree to let us take before & after photos for What’s Good Denton
Giveaway Details
The winner will be announced Wednesday, September 10th, giving us plenty of time to plan and make it perfect before the holiday season.
Now click below to fill out the entry form and enter the giveaway!
And if you don’t own a home, share this with your parents, neighbors, or friends who do, so they can enter too.
