Chamber Announces Holiday Shop Window Winners

The Garden City Chamber of Commerce’s Shop Window Competition, a 28-year tradition, began following the “energy crunch” of the late 70’s to encourage renewed interest in decorating the business districts and to attract shoppers for the Holiday Season. Best of Show for 2006 is diSalvo Interiors. Additionally, the Chamber is pleased to announce the top ten winners in the central business district. They are: Anne Hagen’s Village Realty of G.C., Barbatsuly Furs, Culinary Heights, Feldis Florist, Green Barn Country Store, Joseph & Joseph, The Pear Tree, SL Enterprise of NY, West & Stannish Opticians and You-Nique Bow-Tique. Also, of Garden City’s 26 restaurants, the three judged to be the most beautifully decorated are Leo’s, Seventh Street Cafe, and B.K. Sweeney’s UIptown Grille. The winner on New Hyde Park Road was Reflections Fine Jewelry. The Chamber thanks the judges who walked Franklin Avenue and Seventh Street to make their determinations. They were Suzie Alvey, professional artist, and Dan Karas, president of the Central Property Owners’ Association(CPOA). Additional thanks to Seventh Street Cafe for providing refreshments for the judges while they made their deliberations. Photos of the winners will appear in an upcoming issue.
