According to Sherry Cronin, Executive Director of Downtown Westfield Corporation, “We are pleased with the level of participation, not only with the community but also the merchants and restaurants which have embraced this promotion and encouraged their customers to enter. We first started this promotion in 2008, and this year, we changed it to offer more shopping sprees to six winners a week at a lower amount vs. three per week at higher amounts. The entries have increased and customers are really excited to learn that they have won one of the Miracle on Elm Street shopping sprees or a parking card. With so many choices in downtown, Miracle on Elm Street also promotes shopping locally."
