With all the great holiday displays to choose from this year, our judges really had a tough time narrowing down the list. After many hours of the judges viewing, reviewing, and discussing we have our 2020 LPECA Winners and for the first time that we can all recall, we have a Tie for 2nd Place! Here’s a listing of all the great winning displays:     

• 1st Place:  3537 East Lake Drive (Whoville)
•   2nd Place TIE:  3621 Lake Padgett Drive and 3631 Lake Padgett  Drive (Colors of the Season meets Classic White Christmas side-by-side)  
•  3rd Place:  3134 Lois Ct (Classic White Christmas) 

Applause Awards Winners of the LPECA Light Displays. These are in no particular order and are grouped by general street areas of LPE. We've included a link to print out the listing if you'd like to visit the different winners. 

Thank you to our volunteer judges and all the residents that added to our holiday cheer this season.  The LPE Civic Association wishes all our LPE residents a happy, healthy, and joyous holiday season.

Due to the cold front/storm that moved through our area earlier this evening the notification of our Holiday Light Displays Award Winners will be delayed until Thursday evening. The final listing will be posted online on or before Friday. There were so many amazing displays and congratulations to everyone who participated and added to bringing the Spirit of the Season throughout the neighborhood.  

The issue was created when only one person that was interested in running for the Board of Supervisors of the LPE Independent Special District got their documents in on time to qualified for the general election ballot. The  LPE ISD must now wait for Governor DeSantis to appoint at minimum another 2 people to the Board of Supervisors so that it can legally function and do new business with a quorum.  Click here to see attached a link to the letter from the LPEISD Legal Counsel Tim Hayes, as he provides some additional information on how our residents to help by making contact w our State Legislators and the Governor. 

It's that time of the year to share your holiday spirit and creativity as the LPE Civic Association will hold their Holiday Lights Annual Decorating Contest.

Turn on your holiday display by 6 pm on Monday, December 14th and see if you've got that Wow Factor to win over our judges. Maybe you lean more towards the Classics with a simple classical holiday display or your creativity is off the charts as you go for a twist and some whimsical holiday fun?

Whatever your style - the LPECA wants to recognize your efforts and applaud you and your family with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place or Neighborhood Applause Award.  Winners will be notified on December 16 and the full listing will be posted on our website at www.LPECA.org  on or before Dec 17. Winning houses will have Award Winner signage placed in their front yards by the LPECA volunteers and our 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winners will also be provided a gift card from the LPECA.  Good luck everyone and Happy Holidays from the LPECA!  (Signs will be retreived by the LPECA - pls do not destroy the signs)

PASCO COUNTY, FL 11-23-2020 ----  Pasco County is resuming enforcement of codes and regulations with citations, following a period of relaxed rules for commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, or boats parked in residential areas during the pandemic.  The grace period earlier this year coincided with Florida’s Safer At Home order in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The return to the use of citations to enforce County codes follows the Florida Supreme Court’s guidelines associated with COVID-19.

Pasco County continues to observe Florida Department of Health and CDC guidelines to ensure the safety of our customers and team members as Code Enforcement officers return to normal operations within the community.

County codes are a critical tool in keeping our communities safe and resilient, and we appreciate your cooperation.

The LPE Civic Association would like to thank the departing members of the 2018-2020 LPE Independent Special District Board of Supervisors for their service to our community and their ongoing collaboration and support of the Civic Association and our events. The outgoing board members whose terms end on 11-17-2020 are:   

Steve Yarbrough, Chair, along with Supervisors: Pam Carr, Keith Crockett, Dave Hipps, and Linda Hutchinson. 

Update:  As of 11-19-2020, Governor DeSantis has yet to appoint any Interim Board of Supervisors to the LPE ISD to fill the vacated seats until the Special Election will held on April 13, 2021 to fill the those seats for the remainder of the 2020-2022 Term. Pam Carr was only resident to have filed the Candidate Qualifying paperwork to be voted on in the Nov 2020 General Election.  In order for the Board to do any "new" business there must be a quorum established. At this time only the Governor has the power to fill those vacated seats via Executive Order of appointments. 

Thank you to all the volunteers that participated in helping to hand out goodies and treats to the local goblins, ghosts, superheroes, princesses and numerous other wonderfully dressed up residents at our LPECA Annual Trunk 'n Treat held at Lake Saxon Park on Halloween Day. 

The LPECA would like to acknowledge and recognize John and Molly Turner for donating their time, the music and their sound system to the LPECA and the Oakes & Associates Insurance for their continued support and sponsorship of our LPECA Events.  All our volunteers sure did add a lot of fun to the event! To all those that volunteered and those that attended thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our future Civic Association events.
