The art of standing stock still for extended periods of time will spring to life ten days from now as St. Joseph Today welcomes the return of March Mannequins on Friday, March 12th.
On the evening of March 12th everyone is invited to stroll through downtown St. Joseph to enjoy the encore of March Mannequins, sponsored by The Boulevard Inn & Bistro, Edgewater Bank and the Southwestern Michigan Tourist Council.
It’s your chance to watch storefronts of participating businesses come alive from 7:00pm-8:30pm, as windows display community volunteers posing perfectly still, as if they were, indeed, mannequins. The theme this year features Night at the Museum. Windows will depict scenes from any of the three Night at the Museum major motion pictures, or the participant’s favorite museum exhibits.
Those who attend from the public can vote for their favorite windows at http://stjoetoday.com/vote. Keep in mind that voting will not open until showtime, and votes can be submitted from 7:00pm on Friday, March 12th to 11:59pm on Sunday, March 14th. The top three winners will be announced on the St. Joseph Today Facebook page on Monday morning, March 15th.

- DK Boutique with Honor Credit Union
