Merchants' windows reflect Holiday themes

Pleased with the success of last year's Holiday window painting program, 27 merchants signed up for the second year's program.

This year, Plainfield High School student Pedro Sevalles is painting the windows.

"I am pleased the consultant was able to identify a talented local young artist," said Plainfield Mayor Al McWilliams, "and I am told that window painters are such a rarity that the young man has a promising business opportunity on his hands as a result."

Merchants have already expressed interest to the UEZ about having window decorations for other seasonal sales periods such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, the Fourth of July and Halloween.
