<p class="x_MsoNormal">Our “Scarecrow Row” always happens the last Saturday in October (except last year, which was Halloween proper). There are a ton of Halloween events all over town, so we like to do it ahead of the holiday – plus, having it on a Saturday
in conjunction with Farmer’s Market makes it easy for downtown businesses to prepare and plan.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">As for the Annual Meeting, ours is usually in February, but we opted for a virtually-presented annual meeting this year. Our Chamber just canceled their 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary gala event scheduled for 9/25 – they are planning to
move it to the January timeframe, as are a couple of other local indoor events. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hello everyone,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">In today's Board meeting, we discussed a couple of upcoming events, and were wondering how other Oregon Main Streets are handling them.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The first is Halloween; we're confident in doing our usual trick-or-treat event, as it's completely outdoors. But Halloween is on a Sunday this year, when almost all of our Downtown Businesses are closed. So, in your communities, are
you having your event on Halloween itself? On Saturday, when offices are still closed? Or on Friday, when all Downtown businesses would be open?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The second is our annual meeting. We usually conduct this as a banquet, contracting with a local restaurant or caterer and having a dinner followed by a dessert auction fundraiser. Our COVID numbers are not great, so there is some trepidation
among the board with having the event as we normally do. What are you all looking at in terms of an annual meeting?</p>
</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
