Fresh paint and a new awning can make a big difference! Check out the before and after of Darnell & Associates. Their building is looking sharp with its updated exterior, adding even more charm to downtown Vinita.
It's always exciting to see local businesses investing in our historic downtown. Great work on the transformation!

For six years, they've been serving our community, supporting local events, and helping make Vinita a great place to live and do business.

We're grateful to have businesses like Matthews CDJR investing in our town and contributing to the success of our downtown and community. Join us in congratulating them on this milestone and wishing them many more years of success!

A whole lineup of hot rods is rolling through town, and it's quite a sight to see... and hear. 😅

Don't miss the chance to catch them while they're here!

We know a lot of "weirdos" like this.
They're the volunteers who show up early, stay late, move tables, paint, plan events, attend meetings, and never stop believing in what downtown Vinita can become.
If you've ever given your time to help make our community better, this one's for you!

Thank you for seeing the potential and helping turn it into reality.

I want to talk to the weirdos for a minute.

The preservationists. The urbanists. The building huggers. The people who show up to council meetings and actually give a damn.

You are not the norm. Most people don’t know how to look at chaos and envision order. Most can’t view blight as opportunity. Most have never lived in a place that actually improved in their lifetime.

And we can’t keep hoping they’ll suddenly become civic-minded. We can’t keep trying to convince people to show up and care.

We have to start doing the relentless work of making things better.

Not hoping for change. Making it.

Because here’s what happens when you do: The potential that only you weirdos could imagine starts to seem realistic to everyone else. Progress stops feeling impossible and starts feeling expected.

And when things really get good? People will want to associate themselves with your town to boost their own self-image.

That’s when you know you’ve won.

Keep going, weirdos. Your town needs you, we all need you!

To our amazing volunteers: tonight's meeting is for Board Members and Committee Chairs only.

We wanted to make sure everyone knew that this is not a general volunteer meeting—and honestly, after everything you've done lately, we hope you'll take the evening to relax and enjoy some well-earned time off!

Another great improvement in downtown Vinita!

2026 Vinita Main Street Facade Grant recipients Nancy and Ralph Kinsley had their beautiful new awning installed today at the Community Crisis Center building.

The new addition looks fantastic and is another step forward in the ongoing revitalization of our downtown district. We're proud to support projects like this that help preserve and enhance the character of Main Street.

Thank you to Nancy and Ralph for investing in downtown Vinita and helping make our community even more vibrant!
