today our Main Street design committee installed all of the winning designs for our Buttler Sticker Design Program! 🎨 We invited local artists to transform downtown Easton’s cigarette disposal stations into colorful works of public art, because keeping our streets clean should look good too.

Swipe to see the submissions, then visit eastonmainstreet.org/buttler-stickers for an interactive map. Next time you’re in Easton, take a stroll and keep an eye out for a pop of color! With over 50 buttlers in town you will be sure to find a gem 💎

THANK YOU to all of the amazing local artists who participated in this initiative!

this morning we spotted the City of Easton’s DPW dropping some beautiful new public seating in the Crayola Quad of Centre Square! A place to sit in the shade downtown? Yes please! especially with summer on the way. Thank you, , always making Easton better. ❤️

benches are crucial for maintaining a walkable downtown; public seating makes Easton accessible to everyone, including seniors, people with disabilities, caregivers with strollers, and anyone who simply needs a moment to rest, allowing more people to spend more time in the heart of the city. 😊

Wanda Holmes is the Downtown Easton Employee of the Month for June! But honestly.. one month feels like an understatement for someone who has given nearly 30 years to this city.

At 73, Wanda shows up every day as Assistant Manager at Billy’s Downtown Diner with the kind of warmth and dedication that makes people feel at home the moment they walk through the door. She remembers your name, lifts up her team, and has been known to give away her own meal so that someone who walks in hungry doesn’t leave that way. ❤️☕️

Outside the diner, she donates food every holiday season to those in need, volunteers at her church, and pours herself into her family: seven grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and counting. She does it all, and she does it with joy.

Her coworkers call her a cornerstone. Her family calls her the heart of everything. In Easton, most people just call her legendary. We think that about covers it. 🍳🥞⭐️

Earlier this year, a fire took place in the heart of our downtown. For the businesses on that block, it meant temporary closures, lost revenue, and weeks of uncertainty, all while foot traffic in the surrounding area came to a near standstill. It was a hard stretch for some of our hardest working small business owners.

But this community showed up!

Last week, we were proud to present $1,100 to each of the businesses impacted: Easton Nutrition, MHK Market, Love You More, State Cafe & Grill, Precision Cuts 2, and Jois Boutique. Every dollar came from people who understood what these businesses mean to our downtown and wanted to make sure they knew they weren’t forgotten.

A heartfelt thank you to Aaron Coleman of Platinum Star Cleaning for putting this fundraiser together from the ground up. And to everyone who gave, this was your doing!

Easton Main Street Initiative is proud to have done this alongside the Easton Business Association and the Easton Chamber of Commerce. Easton, you never stop reminding us why we love you. ❤️
