California School District Wins Deck the House Contest

Public schools in Davis, California will soon receive a $100,000 donation.

Kristy Powell, whose family lives on Candy Cane Court in Wildhorse, entered her home in Patch's national Deck the House contest during the holidays and was selected as one of the top 24 finalists in late December.

An Aberdeen home was also selected as one of the top 24 finalists. Tara Carroll-Darcy of 25 Waverly Place in Strathmore entered a video of her holiday decorations for a shot at having her December electric bill paid and a shot at winning $100,000 for the school district through Patch's Deck The House contest.

Although Matawan-Aberdeen didn't win the grand prize, the community came together and voted nearly 1,000 times. Thanks to everyone who voted!
