Browsing our neighborhood stores is even more fun this month with The Holiday Window Walk. The 2ND Street District is sponsoring a window-decorating contest for students from Theatrical Design Department at St. Edward’s University. Winners will receive scholarships provided by Silicon Labs (who has offices in the neighborhood). Shoppers can scan the associated QR Code with their mobile phone to register their votes. The contest ends on January 2nd.
The displays are all music-related. Here’s some of the entries…
I’ll Be So Blue – Langford Market
Don’t Stop Believing in the Magic – Estilo
Just Like the White-Winged Dove – Teddies for Bettys
Willie’s Wonderland – Plain Ivey Jane
Gallery D’s Dreaming of A White Christmas – Gallery D
Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly – 1020 Glass Art
I was wrong…the contest ended last week but the window displays will remain up until January 2nd.
Winners were:
1st prize: “The 12 Days of Princemas”
2nd prize: “Just Like the White-Winged Dove”
3rd prize: “Everyone’s Crazy About Man’s Best Friend”
I voted for “I’ll Be Blue” which didn’t place, but I liked all the winners as well.
