SANDPOINT — The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce hosted its second annual window decorating competition this holiday season.
A total of 25 of the downtown businesses participated in the “Light Up Downtown”-themed contest by adorning their windows with lights and holiday cheer. Community members and downtown shoppers were encouraged to pick up a voter ballot at the businesses, visit all the window displays and vote for their favorite. An anonymous judging also took place as well as a social media contest on the Downtown Sandpoint Facebook page.
Media partners including Bonner County Daily Bee, Blue Sky Broadcasting, and The Sandpoint Reader offered up prizes for the winners. Congratulations to the following businesses:
- People’s Choice: With over 600 ballots counted, congratulations to Azalea Handpicked Style, which won the People’s Choice Award.
- Social Media Photo Gallery: Burl Wood Dreams.
- Secret Judges Panel: Outdoor Experience
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all the participating businesses as well as the community for supporting our downtown merchants this holiday season.
