Main Street News: February 22nd

Every day in our walk in life, we have the opportunity to promote Barnesville, to encourage growth of businesses, our school and our entire community. Telling people why we choose to live here, telling them about the things we enjoy about our community, telling them about the school system and about the businesses, services and organizations that we have are all qualities that we shared. We do this through our business and personal interactions everywhere we go. Just mention Potato Days and everyone’s heard about Barnesville!    

Coming this week is another huge opportunity for us to tell others our story. Friday and Saturday, volunteers will be visiting with interested visitors to the Barnesville Booth at the Home and Garden Show at the Fargo Dome. Many people that are interested in leaving the larger communities for a small, town to raise their families will be there to learn more about what Barnesville has to offer and what sets us apart from the other similar size towns in the area.

The volunteers that are helping to tell the Barnesville story this weekend include city council members, EDA board members, Main Street board and committee members and residents. They all have a special interest in doing what they can to help grow Barnesville. We appreciate their generosity in giving their time and enthusiasm at the booth. They continue to work at making Barnesville a better place for us all – current and future residents. 

It’s been said, “Enthusiasm is NOT the same as being excited. One gets excited about going on a roller coaster. One becomes enthusiastic about creating and building a roller coaster.” This quote sums up the attitude of many of the volunteers for Barnesville that we work with. They are building a better Barnesville through their enthusiasm.
