Amanda Dye, executive director of MSR, explains the contest as a combination of a challenge to businesses to show their holiday spirit and a chance for Radford shoppers to discover their city's downtown business district.
"Main Street Radford has challenged businesses located on Main Street to display their own representation of the holidays in their windows and store fronts," said Dye.
...
Dye said the combination of the Festival of Lights and an increased pride in Radford's downtown area has led to a fantastic effort by the businesses to beautify Main Street for the holiday season.
"This year, the window decorating contest has been enhanced by the festival of lights decorations on the city streetscape," Dye said."More businesses are participating in the contest and many have added new lights, decorations, and some have great themes for their windows."
And that means good things for the city's retailers, Dye added.
"The combination of decorated storefronts and city lights make Radford a more desirable place to shop this holiday season," she said.
...
"There is no better way to start off the holiday season," added Dye.
