Nearby Patch Wins 'Deck the House' Contest

Davis Patch netted $100,000 for its local school district.

UPDATE: Davis Patch has won the national 'Deck the House' contest. Thanks to everyone who helped out our neighbors with their votes. Let's bring it home for Elk Grove next year!

OK, so Elk Grove didn't make it to the finals in Patch’s Deck the House holiday decoration contest. Yup, we're bummed, too...there's no doubt the Elk Grove Unified School District could have used the $100,000 grand prize. But we can still help our friends in Davis represent for the Sacramento region.

Four homes in California made it to the top 24, and one of them is Davis resident Kristy Powell’s home on Henri Court—dubbed “Candy Cane Court." A win for Powell could net a cool 100 grand for Davis schools.

Sunday is the last day for voting in the contest. It's fun and easy. If you'd like to lend Davis a helping hand, just click here and click on the “Finalist” tab above the video.

Other California homes to make it to the national contest's finals are in MonroviaPacifica and Rohnert Park.

Thanks for the suggestion. The City is currently studying a new interchange off 99 and Whitelock,Read More and the project is in our General Plan. We’re also updating the Elk Grove Blvd. onramp—currently one of the most outdated on 99 in the region. Work will begin this summer.

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.
