Please help small businesses to the extent that you are able. Get a carry out meal, buy a gift card, shop their online sites. Or show your support through a Facebook message, comment on their Facebook page or leave them a fantastic Yelp review. Your orders and encouraging words all help. 

We are also looking for ideas to bring folks outside in the fresh air and strolling the downtown. We have sidewalk chalk for creative artwork and would like ideas for scavenger hunts or other fun ideas. Please let us hear your thoughts on ways to keep our downtown active.

Be safe and stay well. Let’s hope for a better report in April!
