Salem Main Streets is pleased to announce the winners of the Salem’s So Sweet Window Decorating Contest. This is the first year we added a window contest to the festival and people really enjoyed the windows while they were viewing the 12 ice sculptures, shopping and chocolate promotions. Businesses were asked to decorate their windows on a Valentine or Anti-Valentine theme which led to many creative windows. The judges for Most Original Window and Most Whimsical Window were members of the Salem Main Streets Design Committee: Gina Flynn, of Eastern Bank, Shirley Walker, resident and Salem Real Estate, and Doug Hopper, architect. Committee members felt these windows were especially unique and creative. Witch City Thrift & Consignment Store had many interesting details throughout the window. They told a story of a woman stood up on Valentine’s Day. Samantha’s Costumes displayed an interesting variety of costumes on the Valentine and anti-Valentine theme including a pregnant cupid.

Almost 30 businesses participated in the Window Decorating Contest providing original and whimsical windows throughout the downtown. Participating windows include: Witch City Thrift & Consignment Store, Bella Hair Studio, Crunchy Granola Baby, Penelope’s Pet Boutique, Coon’s, Caffé Graziani, Treasures Over Time, J. Mode, MarketPlace Quilts, Trolley Depot, Rita’s, Signatures, Samantha’s Costumes, Salem Beer Works, Museum Place Mall: Bewitched In Salem, Bruce Rossmeyer Harley Davidson, Rose Medallion, Turtle Alley, Witch Tees, Peabody Essex Museum Shop, Fool’s Mansion, Rouge Cosmetics, Pickering Wharf: Salemdipity, Cat N The Fiddle Uniques, Living With Pets, The Picklepot, Quint Essentials.
