[MainstreetTowns] This was just released to the statewide media

[Ed Sharrer]

Hi folks!

I¹ve been in full-blown event mode since returning the rental van Tuesday
night, so forgive me for being late to the conversation. :)

Steven winning the Watonga Bob Award was the highlight of the night! After
years of making such a huge impact on Hobart ‹ especially the youth of his
community through the Junior Main Street program ‹ the recognition was
richly deserved (and probably overdue!) Congratulations, Steven! You are the
embodiment of what makes Main Street so special.

Big props to Kelly and the Enid team for a fantastic evening (Altus, you
have big shoes to fill!) And huge thanks to State staff who put in countless
hours over many months to make the whole awards process happen every year.

Hope everyone catches up on sleep... see you in June!

Ed
