Valdosta Main Street Kicks Off Annual ‘Love Downtown Valdosta’ Campaign

On Saturday, February 1, Valdosta Main Street will kick off a month long ‘Love Downtown Valdosta’ promotion. The promotion will start on Saturday, February 1 and end on February 29.

Love Downtown Valdosta is a campaign to get citizens to visit the downtown shops and restaurants. For every $25 spent, citizens will be entered into a drawing to win a $200 in Downtown Dollars. “Spend a little bit, win a lot, is what we’re trying to do with this promotion. Encourage shopping small and local, spending in these shops and restaurants,” said Rachel Thrasher, Main Street Program Coordinator. “We wanted to create a promotion that would encourage them to spend and also give them an incentive while doing so.”

The second part of this promotion is the Valdosta Love Lock Fence. Citizens can add a lock to the fence, located in Bennie’s Alley, to signify their unbreakable love for their partner, children, or even pets. This is a free public arts project that citizens are encouraged to participate in.
