Rogers Historical Museum Hosts 2nd Annual Window Display Contest

Posted by: Karen Wagaman on Wednesday, April 10, 2024

Join us in commemorating a springtime tradition in the heart of Rogers with the Rogers Historical Museum's 2nd annual Downtown Rogers Window Display Contest! This year's theme, "Spring in the Ozarks," pays homage to the rich history of the Apple Blossom Festivals that graced our city's streets in the 1920s.

During this bygone era, the Apple Blossom Festivals epitomized the essence of spring in Northwest Arkansas. These jubilant gatherings not only celebrated the flourishing apple industry but also showcased the natural beauty of Arkansas in its springtime splendor. They served as a testament to the region's prosperity and economic growth.

Merchants in Downtown Rogers enthusiastically participated in the festivities by adorning their storefront windows with vibrant displays featuring apples, apple blossoms, and other spring-inspired motifs. Inspired by this historical tradition, the Rogers Historical Museum is proud to sponsor the Window Display Contest once again.
