Lamp Post Banners

Now for the DREAM of BEAUTIFICATION… In the early years of Main Street, one of the
topics seemed to be of interest with merchants and community was lamp post banners for all
seasons of the year. It was said, “They create a sense of seasons” or “they create a pedestrian
friendly” or “they create a shopping experience” for the holidays.
Again, I didn’t give up, we just happened to mention to our City Manager, Nick Overstreet
the beginning of this year and he said “let’s do it”…so here we are!
At our June 22nd, Downtown Chats, the plan was presented and within one week, we had the
community’s support and the excitement began…we planned to drape 50 lamp post with ‘five
sets” in a two month time frame, before the end of August, we reached our GOAL.
By the time this issue breaks, you will have experienced the beauty of our 1st – CHRISTMAS
BANNER on the lamp post in our HISTORIC DISTRICT.
There will be five seasons of banners to be displayed at specific times throughout the calendar
year, to beautiful and unify our beautification project. (Shown are the other seasons of banners to
be displayed)
We would like to thank those who helped make this possible by investing in the banners;
each banner will display their business name…a special thank you to the following businesses.
