South San Francisco, CA November 30, 2013
UPDATE:
Due to such a wonderful response we have added a 2nd prize to be awarded with winners randomly chosen and announced on Christmas Day. Gifts include dinner for two at Buon Gusto’s and a special basket from La Boutquetiere.
*****
Everything South City hosts regular GAME ON contests for our readers where we randomly pick a winner and award a gift certificate for a local business. This month we are asking folks to send us photos of local holiday decorations. We have some neighbors that really go way out such as those off of Chestnut in the Parkway Estates neighborhood. Yesteryear we had a wonderful community of folks on Lilac Lane that went all out for the holidays too.
Because we all don’t get around town to see them, and some of our readers are living out of the area, please share your photos with us. On Christmas we will be announcing the winner for this GAME ON and awarding a very special gift.
You can submit your photos to us at [email protected] By sending us your photo you agree that we can share the photo and your name on our website and our facebook page. Below are some of the photos we have received so far.
