Greetings from Main
Street ...
Art with Flavor a benefit for Shining Star, Dixon Main Street
and Dixon Riverfront was a fantastic success this past weekend. Special thanks
to the Crystal Cork for hosting and sponsoring
this wonderful event, to Trein's Jewelry for sponsoring and to Basil
Tree for the wonderful food. And, of course, the donated art was marvelous!
Thanks to those that attended and added some great art to their collections. In
total, $3,645 was raised to be divided among the three non-profits!!
Reagan Trail Days
Award Nominees Needed!
Nominate a former Dixonite for the annual Reagan Trail Days
Gala awards ceremony. Each year, several former Dixonites are recognized for
their accomplishments away from home, just as Ronald Reagan went out into the
world after growing up in Dixon
and had great success. The honorees each year share how Dixon shaped their lives and prepared them
for future success. Please email us any suggestions at mainst@grics.net.
