  1.  Save the Date: The Oregon Main Street Conference is Oct 5-7 in Klamath Falls. The OMS conference is a great opportunity to re-evaluate your work and consider new opportunities for improving your historic downtown or traditional commercial neighborhood district. From the dynamic and engaging sessions and plenaries to the informal, energizing conversations had in-between, attendees leave with fresh ideas and renewed passion for the impactful work you are doing or inspired to get started. We are so honored that Mary Means, the founder of the Main Street Movement, will be our keynote speaker at our Excellence on Main awards. We will be posting conference information soon on our website.
