Chamber of Commerce Announces Holiday Window Decorating Contest, Asks for the Public to Judge

From the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce:

“Westport, December 9th - The Westport Downtown Merchants Association and the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce partner to return the Annual Holiday Window Decorating Contest, this year making it town wide.  Residents and shoppers may cast their votes online via mobile device or at the Chamber of Commerce website.   


44 businesses are registered and will compete in four categories; Local independent retailers (Mom & Pops), National Chains, Restaurant / Deli and Non Retail, for the most loved windows this holiday season.  
“This is just plain old fun and everyone can get involved,” said Matthew Mandell Executive Director of the Chamber. “But it also has a purpose, it will drive traffic to stores as people come to judge the windows, and during this crucial time this is a positive.”   

This marks another collaboration for the Chamber and DMA as they continue to take a proactive role in the support of our business community during the pandemic.   

“Just like we've made an effort to bring extra holiday festivity to the streets of Downtown Westport this year, our merchants have the ability to display their creativity and welcome new and old shoppers in a safe and welcoming way,” said Randy Herbertson, President of the DMA.
Shoppers can vote at the Chamber of Commerce website www.westportwestonchamber.com/holidaywindow and some stores are able to make it even easier by displaying a QR code in their window for seamless voting by phone. A full list of stores & addresses is online where the QR code takes you.   

The competition begins today and ends on Monday December 21st.  Residents and shoppers can vote once for each category. Category winners  will see their achievement promoted on social media and the grand prize for most votes is generously awarded a dinner for four at Don Memo.   

  

All information, to vote and the list of participating venues can be found at www.westportwestonchamber.com/holidaywindow   “
