Happenings in Gate Post
Christmas Lights Winners The annual Gate Post Estates light contest was held Sunday evening, December 14. Any interested block captains and any other members of Gate Post Estates were invited to meet at the home of Terry and Jo Donahue. A small, but enthusiastic crowd met for refreshments before going out and driving around the neighborhood. Each group was asked to drive around twice and to note any homes that seemed to fit the categories of most traditional, colorful, creative and best entryway. Afterwards the group reconvened at the Donahue's and voiced their opinions. A written vote was taken and the re-sults were tallied. The winners this year were: Best Entryway - Tom & Becky Bradley, 6748 Jade Post Lane; Most Traditional - Charles & Charlotte Morris, 6615 White Post Road; Most Colorful - Dave & Shirley Von Rinteln, 1480l Green Post Court; and Most Creative - Clint and Carol Booth, 14803 Green Post Court. Congratulations to all the winners!
