The 2014 winners of Main Street Bath’s Window Decorating Contest include Island Treasure Toys, located at 182 Front St. (Coolest Window), The Bath Sweet Shoppe, located at 19 Centre St. (Most Festive), and Ornament, located at 70 Front St. (Most Creative).

The judges for Coolest, Most Festive and Most Creative were Walter Briggs of Briggs Adverting, artist Claudette Gamache and Katie Meyers, director of Marketing for the Maine Maritime Museum.

Ballot boxes were available for voting at more than a dozen downtown locations, and a total of 466 shoppers voted for 25 downtown businesses.

The Popular Choice winner this year was Ornament. Tied for second were J’Adore Consignment, located at 192 Front St., and Now You’re Cooking, located at 49 Front St.

Judi Hall of Freeport was drawn as the winner from all the popular choice ballots and won a gift basket filled with goodies from Bath businesses.
