Hawthorn Mall invites community to judge its eco-themed display event

Shoppers can vote for favorite design among mannequins dressed in Earth-friendly materials

By Lake County Journal staff report

Earth Day, which was started by John McConnell on April 22, 1970, is here.

VERNON HILLS – Hawthorn Mall invites the community to become creativity judges during a weeklong eco-themed display event that runs April 19-25.

To draw attention to conservation efforts during the week surrounding Earth Day, Hawthorn Mall retailers will dress mannequins or create other displays using Earth-friendly materials (biodegradable newspapers, etc.) and showcase their creations in the mall’s Center Park.

Shoppers are asked to stop by throughout the week and vote for their favorite design by scanning a QR code on the sign nearest the display of their choice.

Shoppers voting on the displays will be entered for a chance to win a gift basket and $100 gift card from Barbara’s Bookstore. The gift basket winner, as well as the retailer whose design received the most votes, will be announced via the mall’s social media platforms April 26.

Guests are asked to comply with all state and local COVID-19 safety recommendations, including wearing masks, when visiting the mall.
