The Soul City group is wrapping up its post-Helene present to the community this Friday after a two-week run-in downtown Augusta.
(26) Downtown businesses are participating in a holiday decorating contest – the Soul City Spectacular. Windows, doors, and entire facades of buildings will be decorated in a festive holiday spirit.
Businesses will be competing in the following categories: The Most Creative, The Most Colorful, The Most Elegant, and The Best Overall.
According to John Porter, Downtown Soul City Director, “I think people are still feeling the emotional toll after Helene and so we wanted to provide an incentive for Downtown businesses to help promote a sense of holiday joy and cheer.
“I think we could all use a little more beauty and joy in our lives”, said John Porter, Downtown Soul City Director.
According to Tonya Boswell, owner of Urban K9, “We decorated to show people how to have pet-friendly holiday decorations so that people with pets would still be able to enjoy the beauty of the holiday”
“I find it fun to participate in transforming downtown into a winter wonderland. When people see lights and décor, any time of year, it gives them the same feeling as watching a Hallmark movie – merry and light!”, added Alexia Gonzalez, owner of the Earth Pantry.
