Get Out, Explore, and Support Local This March!

Show Your Downtown Some Love This March!

As winter lingers and cabin fever sets in, March can be one of the most challenging times for our downtown businesses. Snowy days, school closures, and cold weather often keep people at home—but our local shops, restaurants, and creatives are still here, working hard and ready to welcome you in.

Now is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and rediscover everything downtown has to offer. Whether you’re grabbing a cozy meal to go, enjoying a tasting, or exploring something new, your support makes a meaningful difference.

There’s plenty happening right now at The Center Building:

  • Blue Moon has extended its hours and is now open until 7 PM—perfect for picking up dinner on your way home!

  • Stop by Thunder Bay Winery to grab a bottle of wine or enjoy a tasting experience!

  • Rony from Marithyme Mediterranean Cafe is back from Lebanon and ready to welcome visitors and serve up some dishes!

  • Art In The Loft is offering a variety of classes and workshops for all interests! Check out their website for their events calendar!

Even a quick visit can go a long way. As we look ahead to spring, let’s continue showing up for the small businesses that make our downtown so special!
