Paris Main Street has been hard at work to make the Paris downtown more beautiful and fun than it already is, and they couldn’t do it without the loyal volunteers that help so much each year.
Main St. Coordinator Cheri Bedford and Main St. Committee Chair Matt Coyle thanked the many volunteers that have helped over the year at a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on Wednesday.
On Wednesay, the organization got together for a public lunch on the Plaza to honor and thank all those volunteers. There were over 200 invites sent out; that’s a lot of volunteers!
There was live music entertainment provided by The Blues Drivers and many of the restaurants downtown offered special pricing for the event.
Main Street Coordinator Cheri Bedford announced the Spring Window Decoration Contest winners, as well as the April in Paris Toast of the Town awards.
Spring Window Decoration Contest Winners were:
1st Place: Karol Lyn Moore from SoHo

3rd Place: Marianna Lane & Carol Medrzycki from Ewenique Creations of Paris
– Carol Medrzycki of Ewenique Creations was also awarded the MOP (Most Original Presentation) award for her window display.
