Two/Two/Eight Summer Market Series



In conjunction with all of our Hometown Markets all summer long, Two/Two/Eight Gallery will also be hosting their own series of vendor markets, making Downtown Fairmont an absolute can't-miss destination every 3rd Saturday of the month (2nd Saturday in July).


 



The Joe's Happy Birthday Crosswalk


In honor of The Joe's 10th year, Main Street partnered with Stone Tower & The Joe staff to bring a brand new coffee-themed crosswalk, designed by Stone Tower staff, to Madison Street! We'd like to thank Stone Tower & The Joe for all of their help in creating this cool new addition! 












United For Kids



The United Way is looking for donations for school children across Marion, Webster, Barbour, and Tucker counties. They are in need of items such as clothing and personal hygiene items to distribute to children in need of them in the 50 schools in the area. If you are able to donate you can drop your items at the collection box at 221 Washington Street in Fairmont, or order directly off of their Amazon wish list, so it is delivered right to them!

Small Business and Individual Sponsorships



We are in fundraising season and YOU can help us make a difference. Some highlights of what last year's sponsorship dollars accomplished were $246,220 in Direct Financial Impact, 6 new business storefronts opened with in Downtown over the last year, and an estimated attendance of over 25,000 visitors collectively to our 5 Hometown Markets and 3-Day Holiday Celebration.
