During these uncertain and stressful times, we all need something to look forward to as everyone awaits their return to normalcy! Localities are looking towards the future with confidence, and that positive outlook remains alive and well within two designated Main Street communities. Culpeper Renaissance Inc. (CRI) and the Gloucester Main Street Association (GMSA), have partnered to launch an exciting new program called Trading Main Streets. Both organizations are offering a fall weekend getaway package for two, promoting each other’s charming retail stores, fantastic restaurants, historic sites and other attractions that make each locality a unique destination worth visiting year round.

Apart from serving as a great way to raise funds during a difficult period, the first of its kind program highlights the ingenuity of Main Street organizations that seek to support small businesses and establish a strong sense of place while stressing the importance of working together to achieve common goals.

Trading Main Streets is a great opportunity for Culpeper and Gloucester to focus on the future success of their downtown communities. We are excited about the program, and we look forward to making Trading Main Streets an annual event where we will have the pleasure to work with and showcase a different Virginia Main Street community each year! – Jessica Jenkins, Executive Director, CRI
