Avon's Storefronts To Shine For The Holidays
The Avon Town Council is hosting its annual 'Avon Shines' holiday storefront decorating contest for 2024.

AVON, CT — Local officials are urging members of Avon's business community to decorate their storefronts for the holidays and local residents to enjoy the results of their efforts.
The Avon Town Council last week announced its annual "Avon Shines" campaign for 2024, with Avon businesses urged to decorate their storefronts by Dec. 20.
Those businesses will then be included on a special map distributed in town that folks can obtain to see these displays of holiday cheer.
