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.
