06-02-2016
The Main Street Coordinating Board met on June 6, 2016 at the Fair Theater.
Board Members in attendance were Diane Book, Paul Drager, Andrea Glenn, Cynthia Gregory, Chris
LeFevre, Beverly McCaskill, and Logan Pritchett. Also present was Main Street Coordinator, Melinda
Brown, and Tori Huddleston.
Chris called the meeting to order at 12:10 P.M.
The minutes from the May meeting had been previously reviewed through an email sent to each
member. There were no corrections. Paul made a motion to accept these minutes as read while Andrea
seconded the motion. Melinda then read the Vision and Mission Goals.
Organizational Committee - Cynthia reported that the possibility of a column on news of events of Main
Street in the Plainview Daily herald would probably not happen as the newspaper was not particularly
fond of the idea due to other organizations wanting the same given space to report their activities also.
It was not a definite NO from the Herald but because of the amount of advertising from Main Street
already purchasing, they could still accept the request. The committee will also check into being
included in the Club News already available in the paper.
Design Committee - Melinda met with the Design Planners on the site visit. A report of this visit will be
ready towards the end of June. Plainview City Staff members along with Melinda, will first view the
report of suggestions/ideas/evaluations the Planners came up with from the visit. These ideas etc. will
then be presented to the Main Street Board.
Promotion Committee - Melinda gave the update on 2nd Friday with the theme of Agriculture and
Family Health. Dr. King will be present for the Walk with the Doc encouraging good nutrition in families.
The movie "Finding Nemo" will play at 7 p.m. In the Fair Theater with admission fee of $1.00 per person.
Red White &Moo will be held July 2nd in coordination with other holiday events held the same day-the
Parade, the Dairy festivities and City Fireworks. Main Street will help by providing volunteers for the
parade lineup and directing the route at 9:15, setting up tables-chairs around the court house at 10:15,
judging the parade entrants (Best Theme, Overall, and People’s Choice) and crowd count at 12:30.
Festivities will begin around the Square about 12. Included with the vendors will be bouncy houses,
