Weekly Update
This is most likely the busiest time of year for Main Street. Yes, things are always busy. So let me explain how this can possibly be the busiest.
Every year, the Oklahoma Main Street award applications are due on the first Friday in February. That takes an inordinate amount of time. We actually have so many wonderful projects that can be competitive on a statewide basis that it is overwhelming. Last year, we submitted more applications than most of the other 40+ Main Street programs statewide. The award nominations are stressful because it is so competitive, and I want to get them just right. We deserve to win them all. To make it even more stressful, the project has to be fit into our already busy schedule. Although we get the information in November, it isn’t easy to get started with Christmas activities going on. Carla has been a huge help stapling the awards and putting them into the correct group. Chris Pierce and Dena Sherrill pitched in as well to make sure the nominations were dead-on. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we have a winner this year!
The date for Mega Bull 2012 has finally been set! Mega Bull will be held on April 21, 2012 at the Durant Round Up Club Arena. People look forward to this action-packed, exciting, and entertaining night under the stars. I will have more information about this event at a later date but I’m very excited to have a date set.
Ticket sales for “Dancing with the Stars” of Durant have taken off and we are halfway to our seating limit. We have added a few things to the show this year and I can promise you that you won’t want to miss it. Remember this event is being held at Choctaw Casino and Resort’s Center Stage so you MUST be 18 or older to attend. Our dance teams have done a fantastic job of making creative campaign posters. If you haven’t seen them around town check out our Facebook or the Durant Main Street Website.
Call today to find out more about the exciting events we have in the upcoming months. You can come by 110 N. 2nd Street or call 924-1550.
