The James Street North Window Competition is on...

Game On!

The Holiday Window Competition is in full swing in Hamilton's Arts District

Here's the skinny:

- come down to the James Street North with your friends and family
- have a look at all of our Christmas and Holiday window displays
- decide which one you think is the best
- cast your 'vote' buy depositing your spare change into a 'vote box' in the shop or restaurant
- fill out a ballot which will make you eligible to win a grand prize draw for a basket containing merchandise and gift certificates from all of the participating shops, restaurants and  galleries
- yes... I know... AMAZING
- 'vote' at as many stores as you like, and enter your name with each vote


Where does the money go?
We want to keep the donations on the street - so the money collected with each vote will be divided between our neighbours: Living Rock, Notre Dame House and Mission Services

What does the winning shop or restaurant get?
Smack-down bragging rights for a year.

What do you get?
An old-fashioned stroll down a fabulous street looking at creative and individual windows decorated for the holidays. An opportunity to support small, local business instead of big-box/mall stores. Maybe a great coffee, hot chocolate or lunch, and the chance to win a gift basket filled with really good things.

In closing?
Vote for i fiori... I'm just saying...

update :: fall workshops are filling, filling... full (almost!)

The fall wreath and terrarium workshops have proven to be crazy popular again this year.

Terrariums
The October terrarium workshop seemed to book up in days, and the November terrarium workshop is full. There are a few places open in the December 15th workshop, so please call or send an email if you are interested in signing up.

Wreaths
It is the same story with the wreath workshop. The Wreath workshop on Tuesday November 17th is full, so we have added second one on Thursday November 19th. Thursday's Wreath workshop is almost full as well, so if you are thinking of reserving a spot - please think fast.

Festive Madness
The 'pull-out-the-stops-do-whatever-you-want' workshop on Wednesday December 9 has only a few spots left. This is the workshop where you can decide whether you would like to try your hand at a wreath, a table centrepiece, a garland for mantle or table, or an 'indoor'seasonal urn.
