Staff Updates – Ms. Teresa Bender, City Clerk <br /> <br />a. Main Street Market <br /> <br />th <br />The final Main Street Market was held on August 22. This was the 4 year of the event and <br />participation has been growing each year, with the number of vendors and visitors much larger <br />than anticipated this year. Attendance ranged from 300 up to 800 each week; a minimum of 3 to <br />4 food vendors participated weekly, along with up to 31 artisans and crafters. It was a great season <br />and many thanks to the volunteers: Mr. Tedd Carlson, Ms. Suzanne Seeley, Ms. Heidi Errickson- <br />Grahek and Ms. Angel Conley. Also, many thanks to the Public Works Department for the set up <br />and removal of tables and equipment, plus the Centennial Police Department for directing traffic <br />and keeping attendees safe, without whom this weekly event would not have been possible. <br /> <br />A re-cap meeting was held to discuss dates for 2025 (Main Street Market dates will be determined <br />after the Centerville Lions have set the dates for the 2025 Fete des Lacs event), rescheduling the <br />themed evenings to not overlap with neighboring community events and the possible additions of <br />other events (i.e. dunk tank, etc.), with Chairperson Errickson-Grahek, city staff and Ms. Angela <br />Conley in attendance. <br /> <br />b.
