This year, in addition to all of the new downtown lights and decorations, Silver City MainStreet hosted a Holiday Window Contest with merchants in downtown Silver City. Fourteen merchants have special window displays following the theme “A Storybook Christmas” and are competing for a community choice award, and in two more categories, largest and most creative. Voting for the community choice award has been on facebook or by visiting the participating merchants and voting online.

“We wanted to make downtown Silver City especially family friendly and festive, states Patrick Hoskins, Board President of Silver City MainStreet. The merchants got excited too, and have some amazing decorations in their windows. We encourage everyone to come and stroll downtown day or evening to see the lights and windows. It’s a fun activity to do with out-of-town guests.

We have been impressed by the work and effort put into these window displays and displays of other merchants who are not in the competition. We will be announcing the awards on Saturday, December 15, 2018 at 11 a.m. at the Murray Ryan Visitor Center.”

The mission of Silver City MainStreet is "To encourage a vibrant, historic downtown Silver City which is recognized as the heart of our diverse community." Please visit our website here to learn more.
