The Design committee and a panel of 7 Judges selected the winners of the 2008 Boonton is Blooming Competition.  The competition was part of the committee's plan to challenge business owners to take pride in the first impressions customers will have of their business and the overall impression of our downtown.

The contestants this year created wonderful displays and the votes came in so close, it was a difficult decision for the judges to pick the final three! But after long deliberation, the top prizes will be awarded to:

       First Place - Body of Art

       Second Place  - Best Dressed Windows

       Third Place - Alora Spa

With Honorable Mention Awards presented to: 

        Best Friends Pet Grooming

        Park Jewelers

        Bob's Mens Shop

"The committee volunteers want to thank those street level businesses who work to beautify the Main Street with planters, flower boxes, and professional window displays,"  said interim committee chair Matt DiLauri. "If you have ever traveled to a town that goes all out with flowers, you don't forget it - we hope this competition will be a start of an all encompassing program to improve the look of Main Street" added DiLauri.

In addition to the flower competition, Main Street visitors may have noticed several new black urns located at several locations along Main Street - these planters are part of the Boonton Main Street program to create a more uniform look to our business district and provide the business members with added value.  These planters will be delivered to Boonton Main Street Members and seasonally planted by volunteers.
