Dear editor:
It’s party time.
Save the date and mark your calendar for March 6th. It is a volunteer appreciation party and the community is invited to come celebrate with the Downtown Development Authority. Come see what these hard working folks have been doing all year to promote the Ortonville downtown. This is an opportunity to see what areas you may be interested in helping or offering your expertise in this great endeavor called Main Street. Ortonville DDA Main Street promotes events to bring people to our downtown. Big things are happening downtown on Friday nights with the Beets, Beats & Eats. This event gets better and better every year. Don’t forget about CreekFest, our signature event of the year. There is also Cruise to Ortonville, Scarecrow contest, and so much more, to name just a few. Have you seen the Heritage Garden of native plants? What great happenings to share the camaraderie with family, friends and neighbors. This is all made possible through the endless hours and dedication of volunteers working together to make it happen. This donation of time and energy is not for money and not for fame, but simply just giving back to our home we call downtown. I would like to personally thank each and every volunteer that works and plays and loves to make Ortonville Main Street all it can be.
Robert Renchik
DDA Chairman
