Bay Ridge students decorate store windows with Halloween art
Bay Ridge is getting ready for Halloween with a little help from local students who visited the neighborhood’s shopping strips Tuesday morning to paint store windows and give shoppers a scary thrill.
It was all part of the 63rd Annual Halloween Poster and Storefront Window Painting Contest, an event sponsored by the Bay Ridge Community Council.
Each year, the community council invites public, private and parochial schools to send students to commercial areas like Third Avenue, Fifth Avenue and 86th Street to paint store windows in a Halloween theme.
