The winners of downtown Dayton’s ‘Whimsical Windows’ contest have been announced

The winners of the annual downtown Dayton ‘Whimsical Windows’ contest have been announced.

Almost 30 storefronts participated in the contest this year, decorating their storefronts in lights, tinsel and holiday finery.

The Downtown Dayton Partnership announced a user poll, hosted by Dayton.com, found the top three vote-getters were K12 Gallery for Young People and TEJAS, Clash Dayton and Heart Mercantile. 

A winter dream of butterflies, blooms and the beaches of New Zealand was the inspirations for the sprawling display at K12 and TEJAS.

Mannequins adorned in festive red and peppermint candy print dresses were on display at Clash Dayton and at Heart Mercantile the windows were filled with traditional greenery and eclectic decorations.
