[November 12, 2011]  Friday night the judges of the annual window contest in downtown Lincoln had some difficult decisions to make. In the end they chose Mission Mart as a first-place winner with their live Nativity; MKS Jewelers and Main Street Lincoln tied for second; Serendipity Stitches took the third slot; and Abe's Carmelcorn received honorable mention.
