Christmas Window Competition
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:29 pmCampbeltown is looking like a glittering winter wonderland with a number of local businesses decorating their windows for the second annual Christmas Window Competition.
A total of 49 businesses have signed up to take part in the event and leaflets have been produced which will enable people to carry out their own tour of the displays.
Each leaflet contains a voting slip to give people the opportunity to vote for their favourite.
The best display will then receive £100 which has very kindly been donated by the South Kintyre Area Development Group.
Argyll and Bute Council’s Town Centre Manager for Campbeltown, Aileen MacLennan, organised the event.
She said: “The Christmas Window Competition is proving to be a great success yet again I cannot believe the number of people who have signed up to take part. This type of event creates a real sense of community pride and wellbeing whilst also promoting local businesses and getting people into the festive spirit.
“By picking up a leaflet to carry out a tour of the displays it gives people the chance to have a fun-filled day out with the whole family looking at the windows whilst even doing some of their Christmas shopping at the same time. I really hope that people visit Campbeltown to see our stunning displays. So much effort has been put in by everyone taking part and I would urge as many people as possible to get voting for their favourite.”
The competition began on Thursday 24th November and the deadline for votes is 12 noon on Tuesday 20th December.
Leaflets can be picked up from participating businesses. Just look out for a poster in the window which says they’re taking part.
All voting slips must be returned to the Town Centre Manager, 3 Harvey’s Lane, Burnside Square, Campbeltown, Argyll, PA28 6GE.
The Christmas Window Competition is funded by Argyll and Bute Council, Argyll and the Islands Leader and the South Kintyre Area Development Group.
