Did you like the July 12 Music on Main party? Good, because next summer there may be more parties downtown. The Buy-Local Committee, meeting July 25, reviewed their first attempt at a downtown promotion and are in the discussion stages of doing more next summer.
Although no plans are set, Music on Main might appear once a month in June, July and August.
The ad hoc committee has several ideas in the thinking stage. For example, how about an Ada garden tour next summer? Or, a downtown cash mob? These are two ideas being explored by the committee.

Wolke was elected board vice president and Courtney was elected as a member of the board. The two will serve through Dec. 31.
