Rochester Posed Goes to the Movies

ROCHESTER, MI – Rochester Posed is becoming a favorite annual event in downtown Rochester. The fourth annual event was last week, with 19 participating businesses turning their storefront windows into live mannequin displays.

This year’s theme for Rochester Posed was Classic Movies. Entries included a variety of mannequin displays including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Grease, and Forrest Gump. This year's winner was @ Home Furniture with their Pirates of the Caribbean-theme entry.

“Rochester Posed is one of my favorite events," said Stephanie Hellebuyck, Events Coordinator of the Rochester Downtown Development Authority, in a press release. “It’s a huge hit with the community and it really wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of the downtown businesses and of course, all the volunteers.”

Event attendees were able to cast a vote for their favorite live mannequin displays. This year's top three were:

First Place - @ Home Furniture: Pirates of the Caribbean

Second Place – Re/Max Defined: Wizard of Oz

Third Place – Fourth Street Boutique: Breakfast at Tiffany’s

“Rochester Posed is such a fantastic event to be a part of," said Marion Tobkin, owner, @ Home Furniture in Downtown Rochester. “It’s so rewarding to see crowds of people enjoy the event.
