Lighting Up The Town

Christmas is over.

Our annual display of lights and decorations is not.

Long Lots Road

Traditionally, residents leave their displays up past New Year’s. Many remain through the 12th day of Christmas (January 5th), and then the Epiphany (Three Kings Day, January 6).

Buena Vista Drive

Most come down soon thereafter. I’ve seen wreaths remain beyond Memorial Day, for better or worse.

Meeker Road

So the good news is: There is still lots of time to enjoy the hard work that homeowners (or their hired hands) have put in to delight, inspire, sometimes amuse and occasionally even awe us.

Richmondville Avenue

The better news is: Westport is filled with holiday decorations. On and around houses from the 1700s, and those built year; from Compo Beach to Sturges Highway, and Bulkley Avenue to Kings Highway, our nights are brighter, thanks to our neighbors.

Dogwood Lane

Andrew Colabella took his camera (and his energy) all around town this week. Here are just a few of the scenes he photographed.

Happy Three Kings Day!

    Lovely Dan! Reminds me of the ‘50’s but more opulent!

    Much admiration and thanks to managers and founders of the Westport Bookshop. They make the town a wonderful place to live and a true destination area. My thanks to the folks who work to keep this town a super place to live and work.
