WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM November 15-21 UCW 9 e Cool Spring Downtown District announces they have scheduled their traditional and new holiday decor and interactive features to be installed in multiple spaces around the district's foot- print on or around Nov. 15. "Our downtown residents, visitors, and business owners can expect to find quite an array of magical 'District Winterscapes,' as we're calling them, spread throughout downtown this holi- day season," CSDD's CEO Bianca Shoneman shares. "We're especially excited to be one of the first places in the state to welcome three augmented re- ality stations, allowing visitors to engage on the street level with AR impressions, creating memories through science and digital art," Shoneman elaborates. CSDD is welcoming the im- mersive art of Robin Vuchnich, who will use projection mapping to illuminate the Self-Help build- ing with larger-than-life holiday winterscapes. According to CSDD, their Dis- trict Winterscapes will include the following: Twenty-Two-Foot Carolina Fir Holiday Tree Location: 301 Hay Street Designer: Mosca Design Sponsors: Cool Spring Down- town District ; Fayetteville-Cum- berland Parks and Recreation Holiday Alley Location: 222 Hay Street Designer: Downtown Safety and Engagement Ambassadors Sponsors: Cool Spring Down- town District ; Fayetteville-Cum- berland Parks and Recreation Augmented Reality Station A: "Jack Frost" Location: 116 Green Street Designer: NOVABY Sponsors: Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County; Cape Fear Valley Health; Cool Spring Downtown District ; Fayetteville Public Works Com- mission Augmented Reality Station B: "Hanging with My Gnomes" Location: 222 Hay Street Designer: NOVABY Sponsors: Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County; Cape Fear Valley Health; Cool Spring Downtown District ; Fayetteville Public Works Commission Augmented Reality Station C: "For the Trees" Location: 318 Hay Street Designer: NOVABY Sponsors: Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County; Cape Fear Valley Health; Cool Spring Downtown District ; Fayetteville Public Works Com- mission Letters to Santa Location: 222 Hay Street Sponsors: A Bit of Carolina; Cool Spring Downtown District Eleven "Winterscapes" in total can be seen throughout down- town Fayetteville. Shoneman shares that she and her staff recognize many people start shopping and seeking places to take holiday photos with family ahead of the season, a motivation to begin decking out downtown as early as mid-November. In fact, Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation's crew has already begun hanging the traditional holiday wreaths along down- town's streets. "Positioning our arts and enter- tainment district as a 'vibrant cen- ter of artistic, cultural, civic and commercial activity' means our CSDD team is always exploring new ways to entice visitors here," Shoneman explains. "is year, thanks to several generous spon- sors of our District Winterscapes, we're giving folks even more reasons to celebrate the season in Downtown Fayetteville."
