Five winners--1 commercial, 1 youth and 3 residential--have been chosen by the Burbank Civic Pride Committee from this year's 41 entrants in the City's 22nd annual holiday outdoor decorating contest. Video footage of the winning displays will be shown throughout the holidays on local cable channel 6.

"The Committee enjoyed our annual drive through Burbank looking at all the holiday decorations. Thanks to everyone who participated," said Civic Pride Committee Chairman Ellie Myer. She noted that members were pleased at the interest in the contest and encourage other residents to enter next year.

Three awards were given in the Residential category. At 1142 N. Catalina St., Ed Pape turned his yard into a winter fun park with a train and ferris wheel. The Norton family have created a "winter wonderland" at 513 N. Florence St.  Daniel and Aurora Garoian, 1075 E. Harvard Rd, have brightly decorated their front yard with lights, moving figures and large gift packages.

One award was given in the Youth category (ages 16 and under). Ryan and Sarah Kelly won for their decorations at 1231 N. Fairview St.

The beautifully decorated Samuel's Florist at 921 W. Olive Ave. was recognized in the Commercial category.

The Burbank Civic Pride Committee recognizes the special decorating efforts of these winners, all the entrants, and the many other Burbank residents who have decorated their homes but did not enter this contest. Their efforts have enhanced the spirit of the season in the community.
