WOOSTER - Main Street Wooster is reaching out to area businesses to ask them to get more involved with its mission to keep Wooster’s historic downtown thriving.
“The Downtown Wooster we know and love didn’t happen by accident,” said Shannon Waller, the nonprofit’s executive director. “It took decades of dedicated effort and investment to revitalize the historic heart of our community. Because of the pandemic, our work needs to accelerate.”
Economic development is one of the core goals of Main Street Wooster, along with historic preservation, community partnerships and attracting visitors. COVID-19 forced the nonprofit to cancel or redesign its 2020 calendar of events, including Kids’ Day, the cruise-ins and Window Wonderland, which normally bring tens of thousands of visitors to Wooster annually.

Chamber Executive Director Michelle Redlinger says Chamber Bucks are great for those who are waiting to frequent local businesses until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, and are gladly accepted by businesses after the holiday season ends, “I think our area businesses like them because once you get involved in a local business you realize how much it keeps the community alive, and our businesses are supporting the local athletic teams and the schools and they’re donating to nonprofits. And so they are taking a portion of their proceeds and investing it and then the taxes they pay get invested back in the co

Oldham Council is encouraging local residents to submit their festive window displays into its ‘Window Wonderland’ competition this Christmas as it looks to help brighten up the dark winter nights.
With the holiday season only a few weeks away, residents have already been creatively decorating their windows with bright lights, snowflakes and spare decorations – even hand illustrations of the notorious Grinch and his pet dog Max.
So now the council is asking residents to show off their windows to them on social media, with one lucky winner in line to win a festive hamper worth £50 that’s made up of holiday goodies from Oldham’s retailers.
