NORFOLK, NE - Today begins a contest of Christmas spirit in Northeast Nebraska.

The city of Norfolk's downtown shops are competing for the title of favorite festive window displays.

The ten competing stores are setting out scenes of snowmen and Santas to draw in shoppers for small business Saturday. Competing stores include Sixpence Gift Shop, I Bee Quiltin, Healthy Paws and more.

Shoppers can vote now until December 5 at https://www.theriverpoint.com/events.

The owner of Sixpence told us her plan to win the game and why she's participating:

"I do the windows usually all in white because the sun will fade everything in there, plus the customers think it's pretty," Owner Portia Becker said. "Windows draw people in."
