It may seem like magic that events, flowers, decor, events, and other initiatives happen downtown but when you pull back the Main Street curtain, you’ll find dozens of hardworking, passionate, and dedicated volunteers working daily to push forward with progress for our community.
Starting with a Board of Directors and channeling out into seven primary committees, the volunteer base of Main Street continues to grow. Every single volunteer brings something unique to whatever table they sit at, and their willingness to invest their time is truly what makes a difference in our town.
