The Rogers Historical Museum announces the 3rd annual Downtown Rogers Window Display Contest. The theme is “Spring in the Ozarks”.
The museum’s annual Window Display Contest in the Downtown Rogers commercial district is a tribute to a springtime tradition in our city’s past taken from the Apple Blossom Festivals days in the 1920s. These annual spring festivals hosted in Rogers were a grand celebration of the apple industry in Northwest Arkansas. They also provided a way to showcase the beauty of Arkansas in springtime and the prosperity and economic progress of a growing region.
In the festival’s hey-day, many Rogers merchants joined in the celebrations by decorating their store-front window displays with apples, apple blossoms and other spring-related motifs. It is in the spirit of this historic tradition that the museum was inspired to sponsor our Window Display Contest.
Online voting for the contest is open to the public from May 10 - June 1. The winning window will receive a $500 Visa gift card and will be announced on the museum’s Facebook and Instagram on June 3.
