Vote for Your Favorite Holiday Storefront Window at Chatham Winterfest 2017, Dec 16

This Saturday is Chatham’s Annual Winterfest, and village visitors will vote to choose the best decorated window display.

This is the first year for the decorating contest, and it’s been fun to see the stores get into the spirit. The competitive spirit in me instantly jumped at the chance to be in a holiday decorating contest, and luckily my office at Beach & Bartolo Realtors, on Main Street, has a huge window/canvas.

The concept is an oversized, arts & crafts, gingerbread house with a nod to our business.
