[chambernews] Christmas Window Decorating Contest

[Karen Amundson (Chamber)]

Hey, we're at it again!

The 2nd Annual Christmas Window Decorating Contest will commence on 
Friday, Nov. 25th (Moonlight Madness) and the winner will be chosen on 
Sat. Dec. 3rd at our 2nd Annual Community Christmas Gathering at the 
Chamber Office where we'll have Santa, cookies, cider and hopefully 
horse drawn sleigh rides.

It's a great reason to get in gear for the season and also to get folks 
window shopping and into your businesses. The winner of the Christmas 
window contest will receive a 1/4 page full color ad in the Advertiser 
that can be used for your holiday advertising!  For those of you 
interested in participating in the contest - which I hope all of you 
are, we ask that you have your windows ready for outdoor viewing by Nov. 
25th. We also are requesting that you donate a $10.00 gift certificate. 
As we did last year, these will go into a drawing for one community 
member's winning prize.

This year, Glen Johnstone has promised us a 25+ foot tree that will go 
in front of the Vasaloppet Headquarters. We will decorate it with white 
lights and light it on Dec. 3rd.

Window Contest voting will begin on November 25th^.On December 3rd, all 
ballots must be turned in to a box at the Chamber office (111 South 
Union Street).That afternoon at 4:15, the voting will cease and between 
4:15 and  4:30 the winner (business owner) of the window decoration will 
be announced. Then one of the ballots will be chosen from the entire box 
and that winner (community member) will be announced.At 4:45, the City's 
Christmas tree will be lit and we invite all folks in town to sing along 
with carolers on the street (*Would anyone of you please help lead the 
charge on gathering carolers* ?!!).

That's the plan!

I would really appreciate it if you would let me know if you are 
interested in participating - RIGHT AWAY! I need to get the business 
list into the paper as soon as possible. I will get ballots to your 
stores within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully sooner - as it all depends on 
the responses we get for this.

I'm excited to see our town dressed up in it's holiday finest. You folks 
make it all happen - Thank you.

All my best to you.

Karen.
