Thank you to all the businesses who participated in the inaugural Holiday Window Decorating Contest. The creativity, spirit and hard work everyone put in helped Southampton Village shine beautiful and bright during the holiday season. It truly shows that when we work together we can do great things in our village. We are already looking forward to next season’s contest!
Thank you to Kimberley Allan, Julie Fitzgerald and the Southampton Village Beautification Committee for making this event come alive. And a very special thank you to our judges, who did a great job of choosing the three winners among all the spectacular window designs.
Congratulations to the winners: first place, Hildreth’s; second place, Mary Godfrey Photography; third place, Sea Green Designs.
