Roundup: Holiday House Decorating, Grandparents, More


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.
