Who has the best “decked” house in Rohnert Park and Cotati?

According to users who voted in our annual Deck the House contest, Debbie Clark's Rohnert Park home has the best holiday lights in town.

For over 20 year's Debbie's family has decorated the home for the holidays. Each year the display dazzles the spectators who drive by the home at 954 Emma Court.

"We add something new to our yard every year, and keep the same theme of Santa's Wonderland," she said. "Santa is always center in his sleigh, and all the other decorations are the helpers to make this yard magical!"

The Clarks took two full weekends to get the display ready for the holidays, Debbie said, working on it "morning to sunset."

"We like doing our lights, and decorations for all to enjoy, to share our spirit of the Holidays with everyone," she said. "Our lights are will be up until Jan. 1 and are usually on from 6-9 p.m., sometimes longer on weekends."

We had tons of national entries in this year’s Deck the House contest and in our quest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in the country, we’ve seen everything from a life-size Santa to holiday lights so bright they could blind the neighbors.

We loved showcasing everyone’s holiday spirit, but Deck the House isn’t over yet. We’re still looking for the one home so spectacularly decorated that it could be the national grand prize winner of our contest.

We will choose 24 finalists from all our entries across the country. From Dec. 18- Dec. 27, vote for your favorite and that person could win $100,000 for his or her local school district.

All you have to do is visit this page to browse a gallery of the finalists and cast your vote beginning Dec. 18. On Dec. 28, we’ll announce the grand prize winner of our Deck the House contest.

So, now’s your chance to tell us who has the best “decked” house in the country. Let us know by voting for your favorite beginning Dec. 18.
