It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we have the most wonderful news. We've been asking listeners to send us photos of their holiday displays from all over Bismarck-Mandan.

Every year, we do this to give a little back during the holiday season, so we give one lucky person who uploaded a photo $500 cash, with the help of Basin Electric Power Cooperative.

Take a look at some of the entries we got last year. They were incredible.

He told us you can find his holiday home on East Avenue C in Bismarck. The display consists of a variety of items such as a hugging bear, a countdown clock, and a variety of props, all synchronized to 10 different songs. Our favorite part is that the Grinch is out greeting visitors on weekend nights during the month of December. How cool is that?!

Dan will get $500 from us to help make his holiday even more magical. Big THANKS to everyone who uploaded a photo to our app and to Basin Electric Power Cooperative - you rock.

Keep listening, we have more fun prizes for you to win in 2026.

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
