A New Lakewood Holiday Tradition

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

We could not help but notice a lack of luminaries around town this year.

But Clifton Boulevard came on strong, with a great idea.

The first annual orange barrel/cone contest. While not every house or even every block took
part in this first year experience, there were enough to come with with a bunch of different
winners to award some places!!! Thanks to RTA and the City of Lakewood for making this a
great holiday event, and we hope soon they can participate at their homes next Christmas!

Jim,

There's nothing like orange cones paired with trash cans on a holiday drive. Perhaps we are celebrating another successful Cleveland Browns season?

Regardless, the Wood' looks quite festive.
