Avon Storefronts To 'Shine' For The Holidays
The third annual 'Avon Shines' storefront holiday decorating contest is ongoing, with the community set to decide the contest winner.
AVON, CT — Avon officials are urging local store owners to decorate their storefronts for the holidays and participate in the Avon Town Council's third annual "Avon Shines" contest.
The council is asking business owners to email them a notice of their participation, ensuring they will be on a special map to be distributed by the town for window shoppers to enjoy.
They have until Dec. 20 to be put on the map.
