Saturday event offers opportunity to Give Grandly! Written by Kendra Milligan on May 7, 2021
Give Grandly! returns for the seventh time this weekend, and organizers are hoping southwest New Mexico residents will prove more generous than ever on Saturday. The annual fundraising event netted $220,000 last year, and this year the hybrid virtual and in-person event aims to be even more successful in tempting residents to open their hearts and wallets to benefit regional nonprofits.
With 58 verified nonprofits benefiting from the fundraiser, Give Grandly! offers something for everyone to support, no matter their interest or cause. Donors can either make their selection online at givegrandly.org or cruise by two physical donation drop-off locations: on Pope Street at the Silver City Farmers’ Market, or at the Makers Market at Main Street Plaza, off of Bullard Street between Seventh and Eighth streets.

Harmony exists.
That’s the word from two outdoor market managers who coordinate separate, simultaneous events Saturday mornings in downtown Silver City.
Organized by the Future Forge Makerspace, the Makers Market held its first event of its second season at Main Street Plaza over the weekend, and an informal customer poll showed that almost every visitor there intended to or already had dropped by the Silver City Farmers’ Market located just a short distance to the north.

Ashland City Council this week accepted a grant of close to $200,000 from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which will be used toward its Main Street Plaza project. The funds can be used toward community and recreation improvement, which Mayor Matt Miller hopes will see the plaza open by mid-June for a concert.
