Recognized throughout the Pacific Northwest as the "Largest Holiday Light Show West of the Mississippi", the 20th annual Jubitz Winter Wonderland - Powered by Comcast will grab your attention with glimmers and glows around every corner.

Over two million visitors have taken the Winter Wonderland journey since its origin, helping to contribute over $523,000 and over 38 tons (76,000 pounds) of food to the Sunshine Division.

Morgan Hall of Beaverton was driving the winning vehicle accompanied by his wife Christina and their two young children. "We come here every year," said Hall, "but this is extra special, especially since it's the first year for our 6-month old son." The Jubitz Corporation provided a prize package for the Hall family that included a complete "Jubitz experience" - lodging, meals, movies and entertainment. Alpha Broadcasting contributed overnight accommodations at Cannon Beach at the Tolavana Inn and dinners at area restaurants.
