May Day on Main Street
The Main Street Stillwater Independent Business Alliance (IBA) is hosting May Day on Main Street a community event for Stillwater residents and visitors to kick off the season with a visit to Lowell Park and the historic downtown district.
Recently the scene of high water and debris, Lowell Park and parking lots will get a “buff & shine”. The Main Street Stillwater IBA aided by the city, local merchants and community volunteers is coordinating clean-up efforts to spruce up the park and ready it for another season of summer fun. Coffee, juice, water and donut holes will be provided for volunteers.
Local boutiques, specialty shops, restaurants and B&B’s are taking this opportunity to welcome residents with special deals, steals, tastings, menus and demos. City firefighters and police officers will be on hand with fire trucks and squad cars available to tour.
Merchants throughout downtown are offering fun family entertainment such as planting a seedling (Red Rover Kids), make-your-own May Baskets (Valley Bookseller) and a patio container gardening demo by Sarah’s Cottage Gardens (Alfresco). Live jazz (Alesci Furniture Gallery), tastings, craft demos, cooking demos, summer fashion trends and a B&B tour (Aurora Staples Inn) with free cookies. Other activities and special offers include:
