Flashback Dance, other events returning this year
The Daily Jeffersonian
With the arrival of warmer weather and COVID-19 vaccines, many of the annual events that were canceled last year due to the pandemic will be returning to the downtown Cambridge area.
Cambridge Main Street and the city of Cambridge have multiple events scheduled to take place over the next several months.
For those who reminisce about the days of flower power, bell-bottoms and parachute pants, The Cambridge Main Street Flashback Dance is the event to attend. With a flower power theme this year, the dance will be held from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday at the Pritchard Laughlin Civic Center at 7033 Glenn Highway.
Additional electric car charging ports coming to downtown
The Daily Jeffersonian
Cambridge Main Street is working to raise funds to cover the installation costs of two electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the downtown area.
Cambridge Main Street, which advocates for downtown businesses, received a donation of two charging units from board member Levi Wade. It is currently conducting a fundraiser to help offset the installation cost.
The agency estimates the cost to install each unit more than $1,000 and is trying to raise $3,000 to cover the installation and any extra charges that may occur. Expected costs include permits and licensing, a certified electrician and inspection fees. It plans to contribute some funding to the installation, according to Mary Beth Sills, director of Cambridge Main Street.
