If you haven’t yet gotten motivated yet to decorate the outside of your home for the holidays, a Valley realtor has one thousand reasons to do so.

Burgan Real Estate has announced its “Burgan Merry & Bright $1,000 Sweepstakes.”  From now until December 20th at 11:59 pm ET, Valley residents can enter the sweepstakes by visiting www.betterwithburgan.com/bright and submitting pictures of how they are making this holiday season special by decorating the exterior of their homes. 

You don't have to go all out like Clark Griswold did in the "Christmas Vacation" movie for a chance to win the cash.

Throughout the month, Burgan Real Estate will share homes through social media, and on December 21st, one random entry will be selected to win $1,000.

“As many people drive around to look at holiday lights this time of year, we want to continue to encourage that and share the joy with others by continuing our Merry & Bright Sweepstakes,” said Patrick Burgan, broker and co-owner of Burgan Real Estate. “We’re giving away $1,000 in the hopes that the lights and the prize make the lives of everyone better and happier with the decorations they set up to celebrate the holidays.”

No purchase is necessary. The sweepstakes is open to anyone 18 or older living in Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana Counties.  Only one entry is allowed per household.  Only photos of exterior decorations will be considered. For complete rules and to enter, visit www.BetterWithBurgan.com/bright.
