Main Street Awards to be Virtual this Year
The Toccoa Main Street Awards are set for Thursday, January 28th, but this year with a twist.
The annual Main Street Awards will be held virtually and streamed beginning at 6 P.M. at www.facebook.com/mainstreettoccoa. Toccoa Main Street Events coordinator Sharon Crosby says
it is important to honor these businesses. “It has been a difficult year for everyone, especially many of our businesses. We want to acknowledge them for all of their hard work and those that continue to stay strong during this time. So we wanted to recognize them, and they represent a smaller portion of those within our community that have worked so hard to make this year a success.”
Crosby says the awards will be taped and then aired on the Facebook page at 6 P.M. to allow for a much broader audience to view, as opposed to the awards being held inside.
Crosby says that it is important for the community to support these businesses. “The biggest thing they can do, whether it is Covid or not, is to support our businesses downtown. There are those whose first response when they need something is to maybe go to a big box store or out of town instead of looking to see what we have available in our downtown. We have some very good businesses, some very successful businesses. We would like you to give them a first look instead of going outside of Toccoa for what you need.”
Again, the Toccoa Main Street Awards will be streamed on the Main Street Toccoa Facebook page on Thursday, January 28th at 6 P.M.
