Please wear your Oklahoma Main Street t-shirt if you have one. Tonight is the reception at City Walk from 5:30 – 7:30 which is located under the freeway. It’s not often that “meet me under the freeway” is for a very cool experience. 😊 Please forward this to anyone that was possibly left out. I did not receive a list of attendees.

Message-ID: Hello Main Street Directors! We are SO excited to welcome you all to Downtown Enid next week! We have put together a webpage with the fun activities we have planned and I wanted to share it ahead of time because I know it's nice to plan ahead! The page will also show you a map of parking for the training and how to get there if you walk from the hotel. I will also go over this at the training and we will have a QR code in your welcome bags. https://mainstreetenid.org/msodirectorstraining/ A few things to note: *Our reception location on Tuesday has changed to Settlers Brewing Co. We will no longer be at PJ's Champaign Bar.* At the reception, we will have Jackson's Jewelers doing permanent jewelry! They have offered to do a special engraved charm with the Oklahoma Main Street logo on it and 20% of all the proceeds will go back to Main Street Enid. Attached is a graphic with an example of the charm and the prices. They will also offer a clasp if you do not want it to be permanent! *A lot of work goes into engraving the charms, so to gauge interest, I would love it if you could respond and let me know if you plan on buying one.* Wednesday evening, our downtown businesses are SO EXCITED to stay open late and offer specials for you all! On the webpage, you will find information on what activities and specials each location will be offering. I will touch more on this during training. We are so honored to host you in our district and I hope everyone has a great time! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. See you next week!
