Downtown News & Events!
FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

Next week, the Great Ohio Bike Adventure will descend upon us. Over 1000 riders from all over Ohio will be stopping here in Lancaster for a two night stay. They will camp in their mobile city at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds and shuttle into the city center to enjoy a festival atmosphere of food trucks, a beer garden, and entertainment Downtown. Dozens of volunteers from various civic organizations like Friends of the Parks, Sherman Rotary, Lancaster Rotary, Kiwanis and Destination Downtown Lancaster will work to make sure that the community celebration, beer garden, information booths, and rest stops are fully functioning.  

The GOBA riders want to experience our community. Being an overnight stop on their 7 day adventure is an honor and a wonderful economic opportunity. On GOBA's 30th anniversary, they picked Lancaster. They picked Lancaster because of the wonderful restaurants, beautiful parks, fantastic  Visit Fairfield County  efforts, gorgeous Downtown architecture, and access to amenities. But they will come   back  to Lancaster because of you.  

Come downtown for GOBA and help us show them our biggest asset;  you !   With live music, fantastic food, and so many of your friends, it is sure to be a good time! Welcome our visitors and show them who we are as a community. How we make people feel when they visit our city will help them decide if they ever want to come back. I may be biased but I have a feeling we might need more hotels in the future... 

See you Downtown!

#WereDowntown

I want to give a shout out to the people that volunteer. For a long time, I was a DDL volunteer myself and I can't tell you how rewarding that was for me. I enjoyed giving back to my community and meeting other folks who had that same mind set.

On Saturday we had some great help setting up Saturday Cinema and quickly tearing it down before the rain came! A special thanks everyone who helped. You all rocked it.

As the summer events start to pop up, please do yourself a favor and give back to your downtown! You will not regret it, it is one of the best feelings in the world!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends.
