Main Street News: February 13th

It has been an exciting few weeks in the Main Street Office, especially when the mail comes! Between membership dues coming in and people signing up for Showcase, I have been busier than ever.

First off, I want to thank everyone who has already sent in their membership dues. We are so fortunate to have so many people who value their membership and know they are benefiting Barnesville through their commitment. But secondly, I want to thank the new members that have decided to join this year or move up a membership level. This has been the most exciting part, to see names of businesses and people who see the impact the Main Street Program has in Barnesville. You too should be excited about what you are doing for this community! In the past, each member received a plaque indicating they are a Main Street member. This year, each member will receive a window cling to display at their business. Please be on the lookout for these when you are making your stops around town and patronize these businesses!

Also, to those that are still considering joining I would like to encourage you to take part. If you have not been contacted and would like more information, please contact me and I would be more than happy to share the benefits of becoming a member! New this year, members also receive a 25% discount on their booth at our 25^th annual Showcase event. The Main Street program has been in existence in the Barnesville community for 26 years and continues to work very hard to promote our city as a great place to live, work and play though numerous projects and events throughout the year. Our annual membership drive helps us bring in needed revenues to continue these projects and make plans for other ways to help our community.  

If you have any questions about the Main Street Program or may be interested in becoming a member or “Friend of Main Street” for 2017, please feel free to contact me at the office by calling 354-2479 or sending an e-mail to mainstreet@bvillemn.net. Barnesville is great, but together we can make Barnesville better than ever!
