The city of Goleta has announced the winners of the Third Annual Window Decorating Contest with Classic Collision taking the prize for Best Overall Window, as well as the People’s Choice Award.

Other winners are:

• Most Creative Theme – Larry’s 8 Day Auto Parts
• Most Festive Display – The Edge Salon & Barbershop
• Honorable Mention – Goleta Bakery

Community members voted for the People’s Choice Award by viewing photos of the participating businesses on the city’s social media accounts or via an online photo album and letting the city know their top choice.

The city thanks Fuel Depot for providing prizes for the winners, and community volunteers Peichi Waite, Matt Martins, and Arielle Goodson who led the effort to paint and decorate a vacant Old Town window storefront ahead of the holiday parade.

To view photos of the participating businesses, visit online here, or check them out in-person along Hollister Avenue in Old Town from Orange to Kinman. The displays will be up throughout the holiday season.
