Summary

At a monthly meeting of the Yukon Route 66 Main Street board, members approved the minutes from the Nov. 19 meeting and heard an update from Director Vicky Davis on the 2025 annual calendar, Oklahoma Main Street Awards nominations and the organization’s upcoming accreditation submission.
Davis said an updated annual calendar was placed at members’ locations and asked board members to confirm schedules “so we don't come upon that month and realize, oh, we have all this going on the same week or the same day.” She said nominations for the Oklahoma Main Street Awards are open and “will close in March,” and that the group’s accreditation submission is due “towards the end of February.” Davis asked board members to be responsive to requests for materials and noted the organization would not need an in-person national staff visit this year because prior issues had been resolved.
Promotions chair Kim reported on recent seasonal events and attendance. Kim said the December Czech Christmas market drew “about the visitors of over 2,400 visitors. We had over 50 vendors,” and that the Christmas on Main event attracted “1,200, with probably a little bit more than that because, there was more children at that event.” She said the promotions planning meeting was rescheduled to Feb. 5 to set dates for spring and summer activities.
The board also received brief updates from design and economic vitality points. Design chair Danielle O'Neil said the design committee will meet Jan. 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. to finalize its 2025 plan. Economic vitality reported planning for upcoming vendor events and that event dates will be added to the annual calendar.
The board president called for approval of the Nov. 19 minutes during the meeting; a motion to approve was made and seconded and the membership approved the minutes by voice vote.
The board will revisit the annual calendar and any outstanding nominations at its next meeting so points can confirm dates and reduce future scheduling conflicts.
