The Mendota Heights home of Dan and Sue Wills was selected from hundreds of entries as one of 24 national finalists in the Patch Deck the House contest.

The family will receive a cash prize toward their December electrical bill for the handsome display of holiday cheer at their home on South Freeway Road.

Now, the entry is eligible to win $100,000 for the District 197 School District.

The top vote-getter wins the prize for their local schools.

The deadline for voting is Jan. 8, 2012, and you can find the Wills home entry at this link. You can vote every day! There are no resident restrictions for voting.

We’re the only entry from Minnesota to be chosen as a finalist, so let’s rally our friends and neighbors as well for their support.

A big thank-you goes out to the Wills family for their entry, and of course, the beautiful holiday eye candy they provide on their property year after year.
