Thank you for being a part of the Greater Forest City Business Alliance and a Forest City Business owner.  Especially, in these times, we strive to make this town more of a destination.  We continue to develop a vibrant community atmosphere for people to visit, shop, and stop for a bite to eat.

As Autumn and Winter approach, we are hoping to decorate the town, particularly on Main Street, on Wednesday, October 25th from 4 pm – 7 pm we will be hosting a “Trunk or Treat” event, pumpkin painting, costume contest, and some good old-fashioned fun.  This event is planned to bring more people to patronize your businesses and organizations.  For this event, your business or group will have the opportunity to sponsor and carve a Jack O’Lantern.  The pumpkins, with your name prominently featured, will be displayed on the 500 block of Main Street.

Furthermore, in a two-for-one decorating opportunity, all proceeds from your pumpkin sponsorship will go towards the Holiday Light Fund.  Our current Main Street lights are in desperate need of replacement, so new ones are needed across our town to create an inviting atmosphere for the December Tree Lighting Ceremony.

In the upcoming holiday season, please help us to help you and our town draw more people to our local businesses.  Donations, no matter how small, are important and your donation of any amount will sponsor your pumpkin.

Respectfully,

Paul Daugevelo, Main Street Coordinator
