The holidays are a time of tradition for the employees of Kilauea Military Camp (KMC), in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, who created their own tradition by decorating the front row cottages.

The “Holiday Challenge” is a friendly holiday decorating competition between KMC Departments. KMC Lodging guests, park partners and employees, and the local community are invited to vote for their top three favorites.

The decorations were completed the day after Thanksgiving and will remain until Jan. 1.

KMC invites everyone to view the cottages during the day to see the special details, or especially when the cottages are ablaze with lights from 5-10 p.m.

Ballots and ballot boxes are located at the front desk, Crater Rim Café, general store and recreation lodge.
