Halloween Window Painting Contest allows Kids to Decorate Westport this Saturday 

Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce

 Thursday October 21st. The Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the annual Halloween Window Painting Contest will take place on Saturday October 23rd from 9am – 4pm. 

This year has a record number of Children, 105, painting 65 different windows around town. All are vying to win in three different categories; Scariest, Most Original and Best Halloween Themed in three levels; Elementary, Middle School and High School for a total of nine winners. The victors will receive an award and a $25 gift card from Cold Fusion for gelato downtown. 

“What a turnout. A major increase from last year’s record,” said Matthew Mandell, Executive Director of the Chamber. “This event is so much fun, the kids and parents just love it and the store owners really came out to support it.” 

Windows of retailers, offices and even town owned at the Library and Senior center answered the call to ensure every child signed up had a window to paint on their own or in teams. 

Judging will be done by the Chamber’s Board of Directors and the winners will be announced early next week. The windows will be left painted through Halloween so residents can come and see the artistry.
