Indiana Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann announced Dec. 7 that Noblesville Main Street was selected as the 2015 Indiana Main Street Downtown Special Event award recipient for its second White River Celebration.
“The White River Celebration and Duck Race is an annual event that many in our community enjoy,” Rep. Kathy K. Richardson (R-Noblesville) stated in a press release. “I am excited for Noblesville Main Street to be recognized for their hard work and dedication in providing great activities in the downtown area.”
This is the second state-level award for the White River Celebration, which is a collaborative effort organized in part by Noblesville Main Street, the City of Noblesville, Nickel Plate Arts, Courtney’s Kitchen and Schwartz’s Bait & Tackle. In October, the group also received the Exemplary Festival Award from the White River Alliance.
“We are honored to accept the award on behalf of so many great partners who worked together on the White River Celebration to highlight a natural asset in our downtown,” stated Chris Owens, executive director of Noblesville Main Street, in a press release. “It’s the second award for this particular event, which really speaks to the possibilities that exist for downtown development on the west side of the White River, to Federal Hill Commons and beyond. We are so thankful for the partnering organizations who made this event a success.”
Noblesville Main Street is currently soliciting year-end charitable gifts and 2016 memberships to help bolster the cultural arts programs they provide. Additionally, the organization will announce the 2016 events calendar after the start of the new year.
Submitted press release.
