Emporia Main Street has a new initiative designed to thank teachers in Lyon County for their work.
Main Street Director Casey Woods had details on KVOE’s Morning Show on Wednesday:
Main Street will then have a drawing Aug. 22, with five $100 gift certificates going to Lyon County teachers. Woods says the goal is simply to give teachers a “thank you” near the start of the school year.
Also looking at the upcoming school year, Main Street is largely returning to pre-pandemic operations for its Welcome Back Block Party for Emporia State and Flint Hills Technical College students, also on Aug. 22. Woods says the passport-only setup is being adjusted, with two blocks of activities in the 800 and 900 blocks of Commercial Street along with passports to get students inside downtown businesses.
More information about the “Shop Local, Back to School” project and the upcoming Welcome Back Block Party is online at www.emporiamainstreet.com.
