Barrington Merchants to 'Bloom'

Barrington will bloom in a few weeks – thanks to Mother Nature and the merchants association. 

The first-ever “Barrington Blooms” will run from April 20-27. 

It’s a storefront decorating contest and a food-tasting fundraiser, “Blooms Bubbles and Bistro,” that will highlight the week-long event on the evening of April 25.

Merchants are being asked to decorate their storefronts. Customers and Barrington residents will be asked to vote online for the best storefront.

Barrington restaurants will serve up some of the best tastes of the town at Grapes & Grains on Bosworth Street from 6 to 8 pm. 

“We hope everyone jumps on board for this event,” said Lois Coppolino, owner of Daisy Dig’ins and a co-chair of the Barrington Business Association.

“It can be a great success for Barrington and we hope it will become an annual event,” she said.
