Check Out the Best 'Decked' House in Grafton

You voted and this house was the top local vote-getter in our Deck the House contest.

Grafton Has One Entry

Will your house join it to show Grafton's holiday spirit?

A little friendly competition never hurts, especially when there’s $100,000 on the line! There's already one Grafton entry in the contest, but can you beat it?  If you can't beat it, please vote for it!  So if you think your holiday decorations are the best in town, upload a picture of your house and enter our Deck the House Contest. And don’t worry about all those lights racking up the utility bill because if you’re voted a finalist, Patch will give you up to $500 to cover the expense. We know some of you out there may have decorations that aren’t as extravagant as these. That’s OK! We’d still love to have a photo of your house in the gallery so we can show how Grafton has awesome holiday spirit. Have fun and happy holidays!
