A tip of the hat to Columbia Association's Jessie Newburn, who gave me the tip about young brothers Charles and Thomas Regnante, who are featured today on Columbia Patch.

Make sure you read about Charles and Thomas, their love of food and their concern for their community.

Deck the House:

Time is winding down for you to enter your house in Patch's Deck the House contest.

By now, your house is ready for its Christmas (or other winter holiday) closeup!

Patch is holding a national house decoration contest, and we need pictures of your house all dressed up for a winter holiday.

Columbia still has only one entry — I'm sure there's more than one decorated house in this town!

Get the details and find out what you have to do to enter your house.

Here's some incentive — the grand prize winner's school district will win $100,000.
