Display with 22,250 LEDs wins decorating contest

Bryan Galus' home won the Zelienople Historical Society's Griswold Decorating Contest.

Sure, the forecast for Saturday was nearly 60 degrees and rainy. But at Bryan Galus' house in Jackson Township, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Or at least “Christmas Vacation.”

With 22,250 LEDs strung around his home, Galus was deemed the winner of Zelienople Historical Society's first Griswold Decorating Contest.

Adel Fatur, who organized the event for the historical society, said Galus' award was fitting, given he was “just short of Clark Griswold's 25,000” lights.

“To be honest, I didn't actually go into this contest with the intention of winning,” Galus said. “I just thought it'd be neat to enter it.”
