Light Up Our City

Each year, Jenny Reed, owner of Card My Yard Bridgeport WV, not only embodies the Christmas spirit, she sleighs it! Since 2020 her town regularly hosts a Christmas decorating contest and for the past 3 years, Jenny has celebrated the winners with a fantastic set up. Jenny said, “As a city we have our community enter into a Christmas Light Up map, which is now called "Light Up Our City," where families can make some hot chocolate, hop in their car together, turn on Christmas music, and drive around looking at lights based on the map of festive homes.” It was originally a non-contact way to celebrate, but has become a Bridgeport tradition. Those that would like to send in their address to enter their lights as a stop would be entered into the "Sleighed It" awards. 3 lucky winners get bragging rights, prizes, and a Card My Yard for 2 days telling the world they "Sleighed" Christmas this year.” Cheers to the contestants in 2023!
