 GT BIA press release

You’re invited to “Come Mill Around Main” on Saturday, June 21 when Downtown Georgetown celebrates summer by welcoming the weekly Farmers Market and the Festival on Main.  After a long, cold and snowy winter, welcome back for your fresh Ontario Grown Produce!  The Downtown Georgetown Farmers’ Market opens at 8 am each Saturday morning until October 11.  The market closes at 12:30, but by then the Festival on Main will be in full swing!
 
There will be music all day!  Beginning with the Rukanas Peruvian Band at 8 am, who will be joined at 11 am by Sandy’s Stompers.  As the day unfolds Tribal Thunder will perform, back by popular demand.  Tribal Thunder not only performs, but will teach children (of all ages) how to drum.  Do you love Peanut Butter, do you love Jam?  If so, be sure to learn drumming while chanting your love for Peanut Butter and Jam!
 
Downtown Georgetown’s unique Alleyways will be the location of other bands throughout the day, including:  George Grossman’s Bohemian Swing, the Ensemble Kids (a musical theatre performance), Random Roads, Second Wind, the Lorne Scots Association Band and Ablett & Cooper.  Joining all of the music will be facepainters, the Georgetown Unicycle Club, a dunk tank, a train and children’s entertainers such as clowns, jugglers and magicians.  There is a whole day of fun and excitement in store for you!
 
But this is not all!  Many of the Downtown Georgetown Businesses will be joining in the celebration with food sampling, sidewalk sales, and even a large blow-up bipper!  There will craft, artist, artisan and community booths for you to browse through.
 
Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from 8 am to 6 pm (and until 12:30 pm throughout the Farmers’ Market season).

20 Minute Makeover

Remember, every litter bit hurts!

The Annual Halton Hills 20 Minute Makeover is set for Friday, April 18 at 2pm.

This year, without the downtown reconstruction, we hope to build on our past participation levels and have an even greater impact. On Friday April 18th, businesses, institutions and schools will be sending their employees and students out to scour their grounds or nearby areas to remove unsightly litter. Jane Fogal, Chair of the Litter Free Task Force and Georgetown BIA Board Member, is enthusiastic about the addition of the 20 Minute Makeover to the Clean Up Calendar. “This gives business people a target time to get out and clean up the irritating litter that is usually left for another day” *Free garbage bags and gloves will be available from the Georgetown BIA offices*.

The official time for the 20 Minute Makeover is 2pm, but you can do your part any time during Friday, April 18th.

Besides picking up litter, use this day to sweep the area around your business, put up a fresh coat of paint and clean the debris of winter. The 20 Minute Makeover day is your day to start your Spring Cleaning!

Note the office is closed on Wednesdays.

Couldn’t make those dates but want to clean up in your area? Contact Kay at 905-873-4970 for your free gloves and garbage bags!

Remember, every litter bit hurts!
