Okay, so maybe you didn’t win the town’s 4th of July house decorating contest.
Or the Halloween one.
Hey: The 3rd time’s the charm.
Westport’s Parks & Recreation Department is sponsoring its first-ever Winter Holiday House Decorating Contest.
People can decorate the outsides of their homes to show a winter theme, or any holiday they celebrate.
Registration must be done first (click here). Then submit no more than 5 photos or videos of your decorations to mrobbins@westportct.gov by December 20. Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 entrants.
And if you don’t win this time, maybe they’ll do a Presidents Day house decorating contest …

Congratulations to Westport’s newest grandfather: 1st Selectman Jim Marpe.
He announced before last night’s RTM meeting that his daughter Samantha gave birth hours earlier at Greenwich Hospital. Charles James Sandor weighs 6 pounds, 13 ounces — and brought his grandparents great joy.

And finally … happy 59th birthday to Def Leppard guitarist Rick Savage.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Marpe ! You will be great grands to this baby boy and enjoy the hell out of it may I say?
Congratulations to the entire Marpe Family! Such good news and what it joy it must be. And I definitely approve of the name ;-).
Dan, with all due respect, your image shows Phil Colin and Steve Clark (deceased) of Def Leppard. Rick Savage had that great mane of hair and was actually the bassist and I believe he is 60. In any case, it is indeed his birthday today and a fun memory to recall. Rock on!
Thanks, Sooo-z. I didn’t post an “image” though; I posted a link to a Def Leppard song. I can’t control the photo that shows for the video.
