CLARKSVILLE, TN – Montgomery County Parks and Recreation invites local businesses to showcase their holiday spirit in the third annual Deck the County: Holiday Business Showdown. This friendly competition encourages businesses across Clarksville-Montgomery County, to showcase their most creative and spirited holiday lights and decor for a chance to be named the best in the county.

Registration is now open, and businesses are encouraged to enter their most festive holiday displays no later than Thursday, Dec. 10, by visiting ChristmasInClarksville.com, hosted by Clarksville Now, and selecting the “Business” category to be considered.

The top five finalists will be featured on the Montgomery County Government Facebook page, where community members can vote online from Dec. 11-16.

The top three winners will be notified, publicly announced, and receive an award during the Ice Sculpting and Holiday Movie Night at Downtown Commons on Monday, Dec. 21, at 6 pm.

The business with the most Facebook votes will take home this year’s trophy – and the all-important bragging rights for the year, along with one month of free advertising on Clarksville Now and a digital ad at Downtown Commons from January through March.
