Downtown Merchants Busily Preparing for Annual Window Decorating Contest
Fredericton – Downtown retailers are showing their festive spirit by decking the halls and the walls this holiday season! For the third year in a row Downtown Fredericton Inc. is putting the challenge out to its membership for the month of December to see who can create the most unique and creative holiday window display.
“Walking downtown should bring back warm memories of store windows from years gone by,” says Luke Randall, owner of Endeavours and Think Play, both located downtown. “This decorating contest is the perfect opportunity for downtown retailers to engage the local community in the true spirit of the holidays,” he said adding that “Downtown Fredericton’s window contest gives us all a chance to bring Christmas dreams to life.”
In order to vote, the public must first visit their favorite downtown stores then log onto the Downtown Fredericton Inc website (www.downtownfredericton.ca) to cast their ballot. Each ballot cast enters the voter into a draw to win one of three downtown shopping sprees, including the grand prize of a one thousand dollar spree! Winning businesses will be eligible for great prizes along with all the glitz, glory and bragging rights of being crowned “downtown’s best dressed” this holiday season.
Voting begins Saturday, November 29th and ends Thursday, December 18th. Click here to vote: www.downtownfredericton.ca
