Mount Pleasant Wreath Photowalk

This season the Mount Pleasant Business Improvement Area sent out wreaths to their members to challenge them to decorate the festive cedar rings in a judged competition.

After a week with the wreath, the judging began and I was joined Daman Beatty, Andres Markwart, Josh Rimer, and Brigitte Stroud on a walking tour with Kara from the Mount Pleasant BIA to check out the decorations.

We walked for about 4 hours and visited over 60 shops, services, and organizations that lined Main Street, Kingsway, and the streets in between. Thrift stores, non-profit groups, cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and banks participated, each adding their own flare to their wreaths. I captured our walk in photos, here are a few highlights:
