Congratulations to Cindy Largey from Ragtyme Station who won First Place in the Fillmore downtown merchant "Best Window Display" contest for Dia De Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead). The window display depicted a standing bride and a skeleton groom riding a vintage bicycle with their pet skeleton doggie holding a "Just Married" sign. The display filled the large window and the neon paint on the skeletons particularly stood out at night.
