Holiday Wreath Decorating Contest
Holiday Wreath Decorating Contest
ELLICOTTVILLE, NY - COVID-19 has put a damper on many activities this year. Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE), in cooperation with the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, wanted to bring some holiday spirit to the village. CCE staff gathered greenery and made wreaths to deliver to different businesses in town.
“Twenty-two businesses and organizations took part in decorating the wreaths and hanging them for visitors to see,” said Carrie Busekist of CCE. “Wreaths were then auctioned off with proceeds going to support CCE’s educational programming throughout the county. Altogether, the wreaths and other auction items raised over $1,500!”
Holiday Spirit Awards were presented to those businesses with the highest bids on their wreaths. Congratulations to the following:
• 1st - Alexandra’s Gifts with a “Gnome Place Like Home” wreath
• 2nd - EllicottvilleNOW with a Buffalo Bills themed wreath
• 3rd - Betsy’s Consignments with a Snoopy themed wreath
“Cornell Cooperative Extension would like to thank the businesses that took part in the contest as well as those that bid on auction items,” said Busekist. “We look forward to more festive fun next year!”
