CONTEST RESULTS

We want to thank all of our Community Organizations that participated in our first ever Chris Lights Decoration Challenge. We had five different groups who entered and provided some amazing decorations.

—Red School House and Chapel: YMSL—

The Red School House is a building where our boys are able to utilize various toys, crafts, and games.

The Chapel is used for bible study and various extracurricular programs and trainings.

The Young Men’s Service League decorated these two areas. YMSL won “Best Simple Country Theme” by our boys. 

—Founders Hall: Anonymous Donor—

The Founders Hall dorm is where our boys live and eat. The Hall is divided into two dorms, the Eagles dorm and the Cougars dorm, with a cafeteria in the middle.

An Anonymous Donor won “Best Overall” and “Most Outrageous Light and Music Show” by our boys. 

—Troy Long Building—

The Long Building has offices for most of our administration. Every boy comes through here to go to therapy, meet with their case manager, and see our nurse.

—Red Barn: Austin Equine—

The Red Barn (Old Barn) houses some of our horses and has an office for our maintenance worker.

The Old Barn was decorated by Austin Equine. They won “Best Western Theme” from our boys.
