Saline County Judge Jeff Arey invites downtown businesses to participate in the 1st Annual Downtown Benton Window Decorating Contest for the Christmas season in 2017. The theme is “Christmas Lights for Downtown Nights.” The decorated windows will highlight the beautiful display that happens annually at the Saline County Courthouse. This year, the courthouse display and activities will be titled “Christmas on the Square.”
Participants in the contest will need to register by Friday December 1st in order to be judged. There is no registration fee. Windows must be decorated before the night of the Saline County Christmas Parade (Monday, December 4th). Judges for the contest will be non-merchants. The winner will be presented with a trophy from Judge Arey, to display in their store until the next year’s competition.
To register to have your window judged, complete the registration form and return it to Connie Curry at Saline County Courthouse 200 N. Main St. Room 116 Benton, AR 72015. For more information contact Connie at 501-303-5729 or [email protected].
