The Oklahoma Main Street Center announced, on March 1st, the finalists of the program’s annual statewide awards competition. Collinsville Downtown, Inc. is one of the top 3 finalists in the category of “Premier Special Event Over 1,000 Attendees” for their 15th Annual Hogs ‘N’ Hot Rods, last year.
“The Oklahoma Main Street Center Awards Banquet celebrates the communities, people and events that make the program thrive,” said Buffy Hughes, Oklahoma Main Street director. “There are 21 competitive award categories representing the Main Street Four Points, and 19 different programs are in the top three of each. We are always excited to see so many projects, events and people highlighted by the local programs. It is a joyful time for all involved in Main Street.” Each award category falls under one of the “four points” in the Main Street Approach – Organization, Promotion, Economic Vitality and Design. Panels of outside judges for each point review the entries and determine the winners.
“All of the Main Street communities who submitted an entry are hard-working and deserving; so to be named one of the top 3 is a distinctive honor” said Kim Miller, Collinsville Downtown, Inc. Program Manager.
All finalists will be honored and the winners announced at the 28th annual Main Street Awards Banquet, May 9, at the Embassy Suites OKC Downtown/Medical Center Hotel.
