The first “Sleighed It” award in the 2022 Light Up Our City contest is the Linch family of Worthington Drive. Accompanying the family’s holiday lights are an array of giant whimsical inflatables.

“We really enjoy decorating our house for the kids. (Our 5-year-old daughter) Reagan loves Christmas so much and has always loved Christmas blow-ups, so my husband and I decided to put a bunch up for everyone to enjoy with us,” said Tara Linch.

The Linches will be among the families eligible for the grand cash prize to be awarded the week before Christmas. Courtesy of Card My Yard Bridgeport, two more “Sleighed It” award winners will be named on Wed., Dec 14 and Wed., Dec. 21.

It’s not too late to get in on the action. Submit your address and a photo of your decked-out home to julie@connect-bridgeport.com to be added to the tour map and be considered for prizes. Light Up Our City is sponsored by Card My Yard Bridgeport, the Associated Businesses of Bridgeport and Connect-Bridgeport.
