Bartlesville program up for
'Community of the Year'
Two Bartlesville organizations have been named as finalists for the Oklahoma Main Street Center's annual statewide awards competition, and Bartlesville is one of 10 communities vying for the "Community of the Year Award," Oklahoma Main Street announced recently.
The Hilton Garden Inn is one of three finalists for the "Premier Partner" award, while Chris Dizmang's CR Anthony Building is one of four nominees competing for the "Best Fa�ade Rehabilitation over $10,000" award.
The winners of these and several other awards will be presented during the 28th Annual Main Street Awards Banquet set for May 9 at the Embassy Suites OKC Downtown/Medical Center Hotel.
"The Oklahoma Main Street Center Awards Banquet celebrates the communities, people and events that make the program thrive," said Buffy Hughes, Oklahoma Main Street director. "There are 21 competitive award categories representing the Main Street Four Points, and 19 different programs are in the top three of each. We are always excited to see so many projects, events and people highlighted by the local programs. It is a joyful time for all involved in Main Street."
Each award category falls under one of the "four points" in the Main Street Approach: Organization, Promotion, Economic Restructuring, and Design. Panels of outside judges for each point review the entries and determine the winners.
The "Community of the Year Award" will recognize the Main Street program that earned the most quality assurance points during the 2016 calendar year. The top 10 programs include Bartlesville, Altus, Duncan, Guymon, Hobart, Newkirk, Okmulgee, Ponca City, Prague, and Wilburton. The top program will also be announced at the banquet.

Curbside Closet Relocates to Pioneer Building
It's time for a refresh, and Curbside Closet has done just that. In response to the growing online shopping trend, Co-owners Desiree Clabaugh & Erin Perry have decided to expand their internet presence and minimize their store footprint, so the ladies have relocated their store to a petite location on the first floor of the Pioneer building located at 319 S. Dewey Avenue.
The boutique focuses on combining classy and funky fun fashions to fit every female body type. By creating a Curbside Closet website the ladies hope to expand on the Instagram following they already have and create an online shopping experience geared towards making women feel good about themselves and helping those women find clothing that flatters their figure. The website is scheduled to launch in April. In the meantime, be sure to drop in and check out their fun new location.

Update: Downtown Landscape Task Force
2nd Street and Dewey Avenue Streetscape Project.
In our February issue we reported that that the City Council established a Downtown Landscape Task Force to validate and refine the Downtown Landscape Plan developed by Main Street Bartlesville as presented to City Council in May 2016. In addition, the group will develop the final design for the 2nd Street and Dewey Avenue landscape project. In keeping with the Plan, the Task Force will determine both short-term and long-term funding sources for downtown landscape maintenance.
The task force has been meeting every Tuesday at 11:00am in the small conference room behind the City Council chambers at City Hall. The conceptual design has been revalidated and Randy Weatherly (Ambler Architects) and Micah Siemers (City Engineer) are taking the lead on preparing bid-ready documents by April 17th City Council meeting. The Task Force is also beginning to discuss the pros and cons of various options for both short-term and long-term maintenance funding.
