FRANKLIN, OH -- The Chamber 45005 is running a window decorating contest on South Main Street in Downtown Franklin through January 1st called the Window Wonderland Spectacular.

"We had over 25 participating businesses decorate their windows to the theme of Santa's Workshop," noted Chamber 45005 Administrative Assistant Chloe Miller.

Winners were announced at Franklin's Holiday Festival last weekend for the "Grand Champion" and "Reserve Champion."

Edward Jones received the Grand Champion Award while the Franklin High School Drama Club received the Reserve Champion Award.

Even though the Chamber Awards have been handed out, people still have time to vote on their favorite display until the end of the year 2024.

"The contest is still running through the end of December. In each participating window is a flyer with a QR code. Community members can scan that code and vote for their favorite window," explained Miller adding that on January 1st, Chamber 45005 will announce an "Audience Choice Winner."

"The contest is a great opportunity for families to get out and do a fun holiday activity together by choosing their favorite window and supporting our local shops and restaurants while they're down here," Miller noted.
