THANK YOU to all who helped with the Downtown Clean-up on Sept. 7 and with the Great American Market on Sept. 8. Approximately 40 volunteers helped with the clean-up, including merchants, community members and ESU students.
If you couldn’t help this time, meet at the Main Street office at 7:50 a.m. Oct. 13 to pitch in from 8 a.m. until noon.
The Market was a great success this year for all who participated with a record 150 booths, Emporia Arts Council Chalk Fest, National Guard climbing wall and trucks, Kansas BTW Trike Club show benefit for Peter Pan Park and the Emporia Flatland Cruisers car show.
About 4,500 people came downtown throughout the day to enjoy the beautiful weather, vendors, food and fun.
A special thanks to The Emporia Gazette for co-sponsoring the Great American Market. Thanks again to all for another successful Main Street event!
