We're all excited to be a part of this coalition that's aiming to revitalize downtown Carbondale.

The city wrapped up a free, 18-month process intended to be the first part of a 10-year initiative to activate leaders, deploy a strategic plan and revitalize the community

We had an awesome day yesterday at the Carbondalien Festival selling tickets for our Crash Site Cash fundraiser. Congratulations to Ed Farber of Carbondale for being our winner with lucky space number 51, taking home the prize of $3,300.

Thanks to all those who purchased chances. A special thank you to Mayor Bannon for doing the honor of dropping our UFO.

We're just 4 days away from the big Carbondalien Festival here in downtown Carbondale. Be sure to get your tickets for our Crash Site Cash fundraiser. Tickets are available now at several local businesses: Cashew Lounge, Peanut Bar, Elements Cafe, and Brian T. Kelly, CPA & Associates, LLC. We'll also be downtown during the festival this Saturday on Main Street in Front of the new UFO mural at the Carbondale Fire Department.

The Carbondalien Festival is just under a month away and the GCCDC is joining in on the fun. We decided to bring back the beloved Cow Plop event that was held every summer at Russell Park, only with a twist to pay homage to that infamous event back in 1974....we've replaced the cow marking the winning square with a UFO crash landing instead. Be sure to stop by Peanut Bar, Cashew Lounge, Elements Cafe, or Brian T. Kelly, CPA & Associates, LLC to purchase a ticket. We'll also be downtown at the Carbondalien Festival all day on the 8th selling tickets prior to the event at dusk.
