Don't be the guy on the right.Willamina is a small town approximately 30 miles from Salem, the capital of Oregon. For the most part its a great place to live and reminds me of good friends and neighbors. Every year like most towns, the Chamber of Commerce for Willamina holds a Christmas Light Decoration Contest and encourages everyone to participate whether in the contest or not. While last year we did put up lights at our house, we were not aware of the contest until recently. Then one day, while I was looking at the Chamber of Commerce's website located at http://willaminachamber.com/community_events I saw there was a contest and thought Its' On Now Brother! We also encourage all in our town to participate in decorating their houses for the contest or not. Doing things as a community helps to better ourselves and helps us come together to help those who need it the most.
The city also decorates its streets with lights and garland, if you are in the helping mood you can volunteer (quote from website). November 7th. Christmas Lights will be put up. Volunteers are always welcome. They usually start at 8:00 AM by meeting at Coyote Joe's restaurant.
