A local service station, doctor’s office and deli were named as the winners of the 2015 Herndon Patriotic Challenge, a business decoration contest.

A panel of judges picked three winners from among the merchants and professionals in Herndon who dressed up their stores and offices in red, white and blue to celebrate the Fourth of July. The judges included Mayor Lisa Merkel, Herndon Chamber Chairman Vinay Patel, Chamber President Eileen Curtis, Council for the Arts of Herndon Chairman Mike O’Reilly and longtime town citizen Elma Mankin.

The winners received trophies on July 3 at Friday Night Live, the free concert series on the Herndon Town Green:

• “Most Patriotic” display - Dr. Finley Family Eye Care, 709 Pine St.
• “Mayor’s Favorite” - JJ’s Deli, 909 Ferndale Ave.

The 2015 Herndon Patriotic Challenge was sponsored by the town of Herndon, the Herndon Chamber of Commerce and the Council for the Arts of Herndon.
