A total of $2,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to participants in the following categories: “Winter Wonderland”, “Classic Wethersfield” and “Fun and Creative”. Prizes will be matched with a contribution to a Wethersfield charity! The local charity must be a 501c3 Organization, however the Wethersfield Food Bank also qualifies.
