Just in time for Marceline’s incredible Fourth of July celebration, our new Veteran Banners have lined the streets of downtown! 🇺🇸

These banners are a small way to honor the brave men and women who have served our country and sacrificed so much for our freedoms.

As you enjoy the festivities this Fourth of July, take a moment to look up, read the names, and remember the veterans who have helped preserve the freedoms we celebrate.

A huge thank you goes out to our City crew for installing the banners. Their hard work, dedication, and willingness to tackle projects like this help make our community shine. We truly appreciate everything they do for Marceline!

❤️🤍💙 Thank you to our veterans, their families, and our City crew for helping make this project possible

This week, I took a stroll down Main Street and couldn't help but smile. 🌼☀️

The storefront windows are bright and welcoming, the flowers are blooming beautifully, and everywhere you look there are little reminders that summer has officially arrived in Downtown Marceline.

These beautiful displays don't happen by accident. They are the result of local business owners who invest their time, creativity, and resources into making our downtown a place we're proud to call home. Their efforts help create the charm, character, and welcoming atmosphere that residents and visitors enjoy every day.

As you make your summer plans, consider shopping, dining, and supporting local whenever you can. Every purchase, meal, and visit helps strengthen the businesses that make our downtown vibrant and unique.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our downtown businesses for everything you do to keep Main Street beautiful and thriving. We appreciate you! ❤️

I have a small favor to ask of our amazing Downtown Marceline community. ❤️ I was honored to be nominated for RMB's Community Champion, and if I finish in the top 3, a cash prize will be awarded to the nonprofit organization of my choice. Of course, I chose Downtown Marceline! Right now, I'm only a few votes away from 3rd place, which would mean $100 for projects, events, and initiatives that help make our downtown such a special place.
Being nominated is incredibly meaningful to me. I’m fortunate to spend my days working alongside so many wonderful volunteers, business owners, and community members who care deeply about Marceline. The opportunity to help grow and celebrate our downtown is something I truly cherish.
If you'd be willing to take a moment to vote, I would be so grateful. Every vote helps, and every dollar earned goes right back into supporting our downtown community.
Thank you for your continued support of Downtown Marceline and everything that makes our town so special! ❤️

We have had an overwhelming response to our Veteran Pole Banner Program, and we are so grateful for the incredible support from our community!

Due to the popularity of these banner programs across the country during America’s 250th Birthday celebration, our banner manufacturer is experiencing an extremely high volume of orders. While our order has already been placed, production is taking a little longer than originally expected.

The good news — they are working very hard to get our banners completed and delivered before the 4th of July. 🇺🇸

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work through this delay. Seeing our downtown lined with banners honoring local veterans will be well worth the wait, and we cannot wait to share them with the community.

Thanks to all who attended the Community-Based Tourism Workshop last week. Samantha Bray got about 30 of us thinking & talking about what Marceline could look like in 2040! When we have a summary of of our ideas we'll share it.
Thanks, Marceline Area Chamber of Commerce, for co-sponsoring with us.
