The Hackettstown Recreation Commission and Business Improvement District is once again sponsoring the Deck the House Contest this Christmas season, a longtime holiday tradition in town.

The sections of town eligible are: Willow Grove, Centenary Area, West Valley View, Main Street, Kenwood, College View, East Prospect and the historic district.

Decorations must be up by Friday, Dec. 10. Judging will be from 6 to 9 p.m., Dec. 17 through 19. For more information go to www.hackettstownbid.com.
