Main Street Monday! Sept 25, 2017 Main Street Awards! It’s time to start thinking about all the great things you’ve done and will do along with the supporters and people who make things happen in your community. The award time period is Dec. 2016 — Nov. 2017 Attached to todays MSM is the awards nomination form and I will have Diane place it on the web-site in case you need to look for it at a later date. Kentucky Main Street Facebook page is up and running. It still needs work, but when you post something to your Main Street page regarding events, awards, or a new business opens please post on Kentucky Main Street as well. Invite your board and others to like our page to see not only what you are doing, but what other Kentucky Main Street communities are doing as well. If you see things that need to be added, changed, etc. please share your thoughts. This is another avenue to spread the word about your program and KYMS.
