First Fridays on Main is coming back to downtown Mitchell this summer, but a Main Street business owner is not on board with the location of the event.
During Monday’s Mitchell City Council meeting, Keke Leiferman, owner of The Back 40 Tap house Grill, urged the council to reconsider the location of the summer events due to the negative impact she said it has on her restaurant and bar. Mitchell Main Street and Beyond is proposing to host the monthly events in the same location as previous years on Main Street, stretching from East Seventh Avenue to East Fifth Avenue.
