Texas main street managers' training

One of the best ways to learn is to have open access to experts. The Texas Main Street Managers' Training sessions always allow this type of collaboration which enables us to cut through some of the trial and error experiences that would ordinarily be required to accomplish some new tasks. Some of the "experts" are just that - those folks who have the years of experience - in this case understanding the importance of historical preservation to economic development. Other "experts" are our peers who have had an experience and gone through the steps to accomplish something that we are trying to do such as hosting a particular type of event, constructively addressing code enforcement in our historic districts, or using social media to promote our towns.

The workshop in La Grange served to recharge our energy. The  presenters and our fellow Main Street Managers were insightful and delightful! Thank you Stacey Norris of the La Grange Main Street program for showing us all the great things that La Grange has to offer!

Looks like a Disneyland castle but it is the historic Fayette County courthouse in La Grange, Texas.

The historic county jail now houses the La Grange Chamber of Commerce and Main Street.
