Monday October 27, 2014 was the deadline to submit someone’s address for consideration for our Halloween Decorating Contest. ย We then went out to look at the houses and determine our finalists. ย What was our criteria?
- You had to be nominated by someone (even yourself).
- You had to show some effort. ย (We had oneย nominee who only had aย pumpkin on their porch.)
- You must be willing to have your house videoed for judging by the Austin County Citizens.
That’s it! ย We videoed the finalistsย houses during the day as well as at night if they had lighting that added to the ambiance and then edited theย videoย so you could see each decoration as it looks in the day and atย night. ย We also tried to make sure and capture every aspect of our finalistsย decorating to showcase theirย hard work.
Now, you get to judge who you think should be the winner of Austin County News Online’s 2014 Halloween Decorating Contest! ย Below are the finalists, watch the videos showcasing their houses decorations and then choose who you believe is deserving of the $40 gift certificate to Abilena’s Mexican Grill.
(You will be allowed to vote until Midnight November 1, 2014 at which point the poll will be closed and the winnerย declared.)

Finalist #2 – 1115 Meyer St. Sealy, TX
