Bruce and Cecilia Beaman at 1245 Bigelow Ave. N, for the "on the Boulevard" category.

He is a retired school principal and she is currently acting principal at Pacific Middle School in Des Moines.

Frank and Rosanna Bellotti at 1609 2nd Ave. W., for the "off the Boulevard" category.

This Victorian house was built in 1900 and has been converted from a WWII era duplex back into a single family home. The Bellottis have lived there for 17 years with their three children, Anthony, Carmen and Sophia, but Frank acknowledged that he is the one who has to put up the displays. A 50 year-old Santa from his father-in-law’s shop tops the porch.

Both winners will be presented with an award certificate and a gift certificate from the President of the Society.

The Society wishes to thank all those who participated in this year's contest and acknowledge the efforts of this year's judges: Barbara Nelson, QA High School Alumni president; Michael Warren, QA Community Council board member; and John Hennes, QAHS President. The Society thanks them and our ever-faithful van driver, Del Loder. Prizes consisting of gift certificates to Vincenzo's restaurant were provided by the Greater Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce.
