>> As you can tell, we have once again been fortunate to have an amazing local partner with The Dalles Main Street to co-host the conference! We are finalizing just a couple details and should be able to open registration w/n a week. In the meantime, please save the dates, Oct. 7-9, 2015. You truly won’t want to miss this one – it won’t return until 2017 since we are moving to a biannual conference rather than an annual conference (don’t worry – we have plans to do other types of training opportunities in the off-years like mobile tours or regional workshops).

He has worked with the National Main Street Center since it was first established in 1980. His presentation will focus on the immeasurable impact that Main Street has had on downtown revitalization approaches and the importance of historic preservation in economic development strategies.

>> Good Afternoon Everyone,
>> 
>> The Dalles is primed and ready to go for the Oregon Main Street State Conference in October and we can't wait to share our community with you! We have lined-up historic venues for breakout sessions, cast a colorful bunch of local characters to lead walking/driving tours, inspired the business community to roll out the red carpet, and much, much more!
>> 
>> A unique aspect of this year's conference, of which there are many, is that our primary fundraiser is held on the second Friday every October (making October quite the month for us!). This year's event is titled, "Main Street Uncorked, Tastes of Downtown." We're especially excited for this year's venue, the historic Elks Building, which is currently undergoing renovation to become the National Neon Sign Museum! Uncorked will have all kinds of "tastes" from food, wine, and chocolate to culture and history. We'll also be unveiling our strategic direction to the community prior to the event and expect quite the turn out to hear our vision forward for downtown The Dalles.
>> 
>> With this, we would like to invite each of you to the event and celebrate with us a year of accomplishments, the unveiling of the iconic Elks Building, and the culmination of an exciting conference. We're still working on all the details and will release more information shortly.
>> 
>> 
>> However, our Uncorked Event Task Squad would like to begin a new tradition for the Oregon Main Street Conference. As a benefit to The Dalles, but also to future OMS Conference hosts, we thought it would be wonderful if the attending Main Street Programs brought items or baskets from their home downtown's to be used by the hosting Main Street program as auction items. 
>> 
>> The thought is that auction items from all around the State would not only help cross promote our fellow downtown programs, businesses etc., but would also bring unique, highly sought after items that can help us and future conference hosts raise a little money for our respective organizations.There is no pressure to participate and anything we receive we'll truly be grateful.
>> 
>> For those interested and willing to help us out, we're asking you to bring a basket of goodies or other auction items to be used during Main Street Uncorked, Tastes of Downtown event. We hope this starts a tradition of Main Street's helping Main Street while also supporting the hosting community.
>> 
>> 
>> Please let us know if you'd be willing to organize something by September 1st. Should you have any questions just give Main Street Matt a call! 
>> 
>> Thank you in advance and looking forward to your visit!
