Main Street Honors Volunteers and Welcomes New Board Members

The Wellington Main Street Program’s Annual Dinner, held on November 18, was successful at Avuncular Bob’s TBar Inn. The program’s leadership recapped the year’s events, projects, and accomplishments and celebrated those who gave a little extra this year. There was also an election for four open spots on the Board of Directors.

• Business of the year award goes to M Rock Creative and owner Megan Larson.

• Downtown Improvement Award goes to The BBQ Love Shack and Old Colorado Brewing Company for transforming the corner of First and Cleveland Ave.

• Kallie Cooper, Executive Director, received the Colorado Main Street Manager of the Year Award. The Wellington Main Street Program also received the Main Street Program of the year award.
