Commission approves July 11 Main Street closure for consignment store’s 20th anniversary
Summary
The commission approved a request to close portions of Main Street on July 11, 2026 so a downtown consignment store can host a 20‑year anniversary celebration with food trucks, vendors and activities; the event sponsor must coordinate permits and vendor licensing with city staff.
The Chanute City Commission on June 22 approved a temporary closure of Main Street from roughly 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 11 to allow a downtown consignment store to hold a 20‑year anniversary celebration. The applicant told commissioners she had discussed the plan with nearby businesses and requested permission to post no‑parking signs, use city barricades and access electrical hookups for vendors.
The commission approved the request by voice vote and asked the event sponsor to coordinate vendor permitting and licensing through Community Development. The mayor read the agenda request into the record and the business owner explained the store’s local history: "Cassie Cleaver started consignment in 2006 on Main Street, and then Cora Finley took it over in 2011. I took it over in 2024," the owner said. City staff will work with the parks department on trash cans, tables and associated fees.
