<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning Main Street. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The votes are in and we are postponing the banquet until 2023. It will give us the time to rework some of the awards as discussed in November. Thank you for voting and providing feedback.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Main Street had Main Street Day at the Capitol and we are bringing it back. The date is Tuesday, April 5<sup>th</sup> so please put it on your calendar. This is an opportunity to show legislators and visitors what is happening in your
towns, and demonstrate the overall impact of the program across Oklahoma. The new 2022 Main Street towns will be announced (I’ve visited all that are applying and I’m excited) and million dollar reinvestment awards will be presented. We will discuss it more
at our first monthly zoom call in January.<o:p></o:p></p>
