Main Street Inc. Planning Meeting - The Main Street Planning Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 1st at 6:00pm. We'll meet at the picnic table area at IGA and Joe Jester will be providing us with some great treats! In the event of rain, we'll move to the Clubhouse. Free-will donations accepted to help cover meal costs. Please RSVP so we know how many to plan for.
September is already filling up with activities and events-and town is sure to be bustling with the Homecoming Parade and Football game scheduled for that night as well. Wednesday night we'll make plans to have a group from Main Street Inc. walk in the parade and hand out flyers and discuss the other activities in town.
We encourage everyone to use the Main Street Brookville website www.brookvilleindiana.com for all activities and events both on Main and in Franklin County. To date we've have nearly 1,500 unique visitors and we've noted spikes in visits the week of Main Street Nights each month and a big spike prior to Canoefest as an indication that folks are using the site to get information about events and activities.
At this time I have the following submitted for the newspaper ad/website/Facebook and email flyer-I encourage everyone to submit something, it's free publicity for your group or business!
