Bloomfield Businesses Put On Awesome Holiday Window Displays

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Bloomfield Center Alliance. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site.

Last month, the Bloomfield Center Alliance (BCA) held their sixth annual Holiday Window Design Contest, and like every year the participating businesses pulled out all the stops with their decorations. Votes were counted based on the number of “likes” the photos of each window display received on BCA’s Facebook and Instagram platforms. This year close to 700 votes were submitted.

Nine businesses competed for the title of best Holiday Window design. Along with bragging rights, the winner receives a custom engraved plaque to proudly display inside their business. After two weeks of intense voting with several lead changes in the vote tally, the winner was Buccos Restaurant (61 Washington Street). Six Points Pub (574 Bloomfield Avenue) was runner up, and Ultimate Vision’s Hair Studio (607 Bloomfield Avenue) rounded out the top three.

Commenting on the victory, Bucco Restaurant owner Frank Bucco states, “We’d like to thank everyone for checking out and voting for our holiday window this season. This contest is always a lot of fun and we appreciate the attention it brings the Center and the participating businesses. I also want to congratulate our fellow competitors for making it such a close race. We are grateful to the BCA for organizing this annual contest, which we’ve now won two out of the last three years and look forward to defending our title next season. Hopefully, more downtown business owners will get into the spirit of this contest which ultimately helps to promote Bloomfield Center.”

Other participating businesses included: Bloomfield Wax and Skin Care Center (607 Bloomfield Avenue), Easy Pickins (566 Bloomfield Avenue), Hombre Salon & Barber Shop (317 Glenwood Avenue), Murdoch Shoes (623 Bloomfield Avenue), Provident Bank (11 Broad Street), and Vega Palace Jewelry (572 Bloomfield Avenue).

“We are always impressed with the beautiful holiday decorations put up by many of our downtown businesses,” shares BCA Director Ollyn Lettman. “This competition provides an opportunity for people to help pick a winner, but more importantly remind them of the various stores serving this growing community. Believing that the more the merrier, we hope to recruit an even higher number of businesses to participate next year.”
