Port Washington looks so beautiful and festive for the holidays! The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce has decorated the lampposts throughout town with garland, twinkling lights and red bows.
The BID has installed lit snowflakes on the utility poles. Residents Forward created a winter wonderland in the garden in front of the train station. And stores throughout town have outdone themselves with beautiful decorations for the holiday season and the Port Holiday Magic Window Decorating Contest.
Fifteen stores participated and the judges said it was a real challenge to pick just three winners. In fact there was a two-way tie for third place!
The judges said they were impressed by the effort and creativity that went into so many of the window displays. The window contest judges were Trish Class of Residents Forward, Town Council member Mariann Dalimonte and Bayside Tax & Wealth owner and chamber board member Corey Peterson.
The judges’ votes have been tallied and the following store windows were named the “best of the best.”
First Place
Painting With Flowers, 298 Main St.
Second Place
Wellground, 917 Port Washington Blvd.
Third Place – tie
