Main Street News: April 19th

It seems like everyone is so busy this time of year. Running to different kids’ activities, farmers getting in the fields, and everyone is busy getting things done around their houses. I encourage you to take some time to slow down and take in a fun, relaxing evening by yourself, with your spouse, or get a group of friends together to unwind from the hustle and bustle of spring.

The Main Street Program is hosting the Toast of the Town on Friday, April 29th at the new, highly anticipated, Purple Goose Eatery & Drinkery. The fun begins at 7:30. In its seventh year, this casual and relaxed event has become a favorite for many to attend. It is a great time to come out and visit with friends and neighbors, try some new wines and beer and have a great time. It is a great opportunity to try something new for your taste buds. We have revamped this event and excited to change things up a bit. Being that we are now hosting it at the Purple Goose, we have decided to up the value of the ticket. Tickets are now $50 and include a four course meal, beer and wine tasting, a complementary drink ticket, chance to win some great door prizes, and the feeling that you helped your community! Meal options include your choice of steak and shrimp or chicken and ribs. Both meals also come with a salad, baked potato, and dessert. This is a great way to come check out the newest restaurant in town and support your community at the same time. Back by popular demand is the Spirit Tree – come and boost your spirits while trying your luck at the tree.

All proceeds from this event to go towards the beautification efforts for Barnesville. Our community has enjoyed the flower baskets and planters, festive Christmas garlands and special banners all year long.  Ongoing expenses for those flowers as well as future plans of adding trash receptacles, new banners, improving the welcome planters at entrances to town and other similar items are on the horizon. The Design committee continues to work toward that end and hosts this event to cover those same expenses.   

Tickets are available at the Main Street Office. Come on out and support Barnesville’s Main Street Program at the Toast of the Town on April 29th. We guarantee you’ll have a great time!
