Over 30 Burnham-On-Sea town centre businesses are taking part in a ‘spot the odd item in the shop window’ competition during April.
The competition, being run by Burnham-On-Sea Chamber Of Trade & Commerce, will involve items that firms do not sell being put into their windows and the public will be invited to find as many of the odd items as possible.
The event runs from from Saturday 5th April to Saturday 19th April and entry will be free, with first prize being £100 cash. A £50 cash prize will be given to the second-placed entrant. The money has been donated by GH Tyres, and there are also shopping voucher prizes for the runners-up.
Entry forms are available online here and from Burnham Tourist Information Centre, participating businesses, local schools and holiday parks.
Chairman Alex Turco said: “So that shoppers can find out about the wide range of shops in the town, we have designed this competition to test their observational skills. We very much hope that this free, fun activity will attract more people into the town centre to enter this contest.”
Among the businesses taking part this year is Burnham-On-Sea.com, which will have an item hidden on its front page!
