Door decorating contest at Mars Hill Retirement Community

Mars Hill Retirement Community is “calling all kids” to enter the door-decorating contest being held at the senior living community from noon to 5 pm on Saturday (Dec. 12). Elementary school-aged children are invited to find an adult and form a team to create an attractive holiday-themed door, which will be judged between 2 pm and 2:30 pm. Winners will receive Toys-R-Us gift cards and lunch will be provided at no charge.


“We thought the local community would enjoy sharing the holiday season with some of our senior residents while competing for some great prizes,” said Teresa Hammack, marketing director for the Mars Hill Retirement Community. “There’s even been a report that Santa Claus himself will make a visit. I am happy to confirm that report.”

Besides fun with Santa, great food and exciting prizes, the children and their adult team leaders will also enjoy visits from the Sugar Plum Fairies, elves, and a princess.

As an added bonus for taking part, kids and their parents will receive a free photo of themselves taken with Santa as a gift from Mars Hill Retirement Community. There will also be plenty of hot cocoa and cookies on hand throughout the afternoon.
