MAIN STREET DISTRICT

Hello Main Street,

I hope you are having a wonderful week. Below is some information about Main Street Program training scholarships, sponsorship opportunities for Table on Main, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Main Street Program Training Scholarships

The City of Bastrop Main Street Program provides scholarships to business owners and entrepreneurs in the Main Street District to cover the cost of registration for classes and training offered through the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce. The business does not have to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce to receive the scholarship or participate in trainings.

Main Street businesses should contact the Main Street Program if interested in attending a Chamber of Commerce training, and the City representative will register the business for the training. The business must be in good standing with the City of Bastrop with respect to fees, building, development, and fire codes, or other obligations to the City.

Leading Ladies

Two English Shakespearean actors, Jack, and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady’s vivacious niece, Meg, who’s engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there’s a wide world out there, but it’s not until she meets “Maxine and Stephanie” that she finally gets a taste of it.
