3) MAIN STREET – From George Hoyt, Sandy Main Street Chair

The Sandy Main Street volunteer Promotion Committee created the most successful ever Sandy Tree Lighting event. Between 400 and 500 local citizens turned out and 220 giant cookies were handed out in less then 15 minutes. Mayor King lighted the tree. For the first time in a few years volunteers lighted Cool Printing’s giant tree. New LED lights were purchased by donations from local citizens as a Main Street promotion.

Holiday “Shopping” on the Boulevard followed the tree lighting the next day with 37 merchants participating.

First Friday in November saw business participation fall to 31 as the dark hours of winter arrived.

Now that the EID effort is behind us, Sandy Main Street Inc. Directors have focused in two areas; setting criteria for recruiting new members for the committees and creating a business plan for the coming year. Both the Promotion and Economic Development committee have been asked for their activity and training plans for the up coming year. The objective is to finish it by the end of January including creating a modest budget on which the volunteer organization can move ahead.
