<div dir="ltr">Hi Holly, <div><br></div><div>In Lebanon we have started doing First Friday's Downtown, it's an event from 6pm-9pm on the First Friday of each month May-September. The idea was brought to us from a volunteer after they had been in Bend on a Friday night. We are encouraging businesses to stay open later, hold a sale of some sort or a giveaway. The Promotions committee is working to have some form of entertainment at each event as well as have vendors throughout downtown and other free activities. Each one is themed and our one coming up this Friday is a Wine and Art Walk. If anyone is around Lebanon this weekend you should totally come check it out. </div><div><br></div><div>The first one was in May and we had roughly 200 attendees downtown that evening. Our only feedback was that they wished more businesses would have stayed open (we had 10 participate in addition to the standard places that are typically already open during the later times. </div><div><br></div><div>Let me know if you have further questions! </div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><font color="#000000"><div><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><font color="#000000">Alysia Rodgers<br></font><font color="#000000" size="2">Main Street Manager<br>Lebanon Downtown Association</font></span></div><div><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><font color="#000000" size="2"><br>971 Park Street Lebanon, OR 97355</font></span></div><div><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><font color="#000000" size="2"><a href="mailto:LDAMainStreetManager@gmail.com" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">LDAMainStreetManager@gmail.com</a><br><br></font></span></div><div><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><font size="2"></font><br></span></div><div><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><img width="200" height="80" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BzmyNnTukDFMeHR6NTJ3RzR1R1NQSGUwWW91RV9PZkVBRFVB&export=download"></span></div></font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<div>Hi Holly. Though it is not an official Main St program as far as I
know, Salem 365 has done a great job enlivening downtown Salem. If you
have spent time here, you will have noticed that it’s remarkably different than
it was even two years ago, enough that getting a parking space downtown on a
weeknight is tricky. I’m not sure who all of the coordinators are, but Jim
Vu of Citizens Bank is part of it. The Salem Chamber or Travel Salem will
know some of the other leaders. Might be worth taking a look. The focus is
not on specific events as much as it is collecting info about all that is
happening in the area, encouraging more downtown activity, celebrating it and
publicizing it (not unlike what McMinnville’s economic development wizard Jody
Christensen does for her summer business interns so they can see that
McMinnville is a happening place). All of this is geared toward making
both communities more friendly to young professionals and those looking for more
action than, say, someone who wants to spend a lot of time watching TV in a
barcalounger. Many people around here have been surprised at how lively
Salem has become, and it’s all because of this group (the “365” refers to 365
days/year of activities/fun downtown).</div>
