Mailbag: ECP: PARTY Corner: Main Street Re-Opening Next Weekend-----

Happy Friday to you all!

Did you know there’s going to be a party on Main Street right here in Evansville next weekend? In case you didn’t know, the Main Street re-opening/ Downtown Holiday kick-off is set up to take place on Friday and Saturday, November 16th and 17th. There are lots of activities going on downtown next weekend. One part of the celebration is live music on the bricks on Saturday. That means we need people who like to have fun. Fun people like you!

We’ve got two fantastic live bands set to entertain on East Main on Saturday. Undercover a Country / Rock Band & welcome back to The Blue Olives – a local favorite famous during the 4th of July celebrations. We need people to stand by the “no alcohol beyond this point gates” so that shoppers do not leave the designated area with any alcoholic beverages. The hours needed for Saturday are 1 pm to 7 pm. The designated area is from Maple to Madison street . No intersections will be blocked. There will be two exits to cover. Shoppers will be able to visit various shops including the Eager Building carrying beverages of their choice purchased from local Main Street merchants.

We also may need people interested in helping with decorating duties Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of next week. This may include stringing lights and festive décor.

In total, we need about 20 volunteer hours to help make it all come together. What exciting things will you be doing? Decorating downtown spaces early next week for the holidays, watching the no alcohol beyond this point gates on Saturday during the bands, or helping with some general set-up on Friday and Saturday- just to name a few possibilities.

More details…

ECP is paying for the live music from our fundraising during the 4th of July. We will not be raising any money from this event. We want to see the community come downtown and give all the businesses a big boost as we celebrate the opening of the road. That’s the most important thing. What better way to do it but with a party?

Let us know how you want to join in on the fun.
