HOLIDAY DECORATING CONTEST

Thank you to all of the downtown Paulding businesses, students, and community members who helped make the 2025 Holiday Decorating Contest such a bright and joyful part of the season!

Throughout December, local storefronts were filled with lights, color, and creative displays that invited families, visitors, and residents to slow down, walk the square, and enjoy the holiday atmosphere. From the businesses who volunteered their time and energy to decorate, to the community members and kids who voted for their favorites, this event truly reflected the spirit of togetherness that makes Paulding special.
