After multiple nights of my Netflix asking “Are you still watching?” I knew I needed more activities to keep me occupied. Are you searching for things to do to keep you occupied? Are you searching for ways to support your downtown businesses? I am here to help.

Ellensburg Restaurant Month
by: Morgan Arbuckle, EDA Administrative Assistant
Tim Zagat and Jow Baum launched Restaurant Week in 1992, in New York City. Since then, the success has grown across large and small cities all over the country. It started as a week-long promotional event, but now some cities host the event for multiple weeks and sometimes more than once a year. It is an opportunity for restaurants to offer meals at different price points, which makes individuals with different budgets feel welcomed to participate. Restaurant Week is an opportunity for restaurants to impress customers with new dishes, give them a bang for their buck, and increase the traffic to their restaurant. It can also make a positive impact on the economy when motivating individuals to dine at small businesses.
Downtown Superstar – February
In 2020, the Ellensburg Downtown Association is expanding our Volunteer of the Month recognition program to feature any and all Downtown Superstars. Superstars bring life and vibrancy to our downtown, projecting kindness and love in our community. They make a difference whether that is rehabbing a building or planting flowers outside of their storefront. A Downtown Superstar’s impact is felt far and wide and would be missed it they were not around. Nominations for Downtown Superstar can be sent to director@ellensburgdowntown.org.
