How can you both proudly show your patriotic spirit AND win bragging rights on your block, all at the same time?  By entering this year’s PAPA/Joan Sather Real Estate Patriotic Home Decorating Contest!

Now entering its fifth year, the contest has become one of the most popular Pacific Palisades Fourth of July traditions.  More and more Palisades homes each year are being festooned with flags, bunting and ever-more creative patriotic displays.  This year, PAPA is excited to welcome a new sponsor for the contest, Joan Sather Real Estate.  Joan is a long-time Palisades resident and one of the most successful and respected real estate professionals in Los Angeles.  She has served as a PAPA volunteer over the past several years, with duties that included organizing last year’s patriotic home decorating contest, making her a perfect name sponsor for the contest.

Valuable prizes — including a flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. — will be awarded to the two homes that the panel of celebrity judges deem to be the “Most Patriotic” in the Alphabet Streets, Huntington Palisades and Via De La Paz Bluffs neighborhoods.  There is no entry fee or registration required: every home in the contest area that is decorated by July 2nd will be eligible for the contest.  Final judging will be conducted, and awards presented, on the afternoon of July 3rd.  For more information, contact PAPA at info@palisadesparade.org.
