Holiday Magic

2023 Fountain Square Holiday Magic Winner

We are thrilled to announce the winners of our inaugural Holiday Magic decorating contest, Mark and Ken Clarke! Christmas is their favorite holiday, and it shows! When asked about this year’s decor, Ken said, “When we walked into this house, I remember thinking, ‘this is going to be a fun house to decorate.’” Congratulations to the Clarkes! As first place winners, they’ll enjoy gift cards from Sam's Silver Circle and Fountain Square Theatre Building . We can’t wait to see what they come up with next year. Thank you to everyone who participated! We had some great entries this year and are already planning ways to expand the contest in 2024.
