Snyder hopes that the city will take over the event in some way, possibly through the new community liaison, or a department like Parks and Recreation. Snyder has not heard from the city whether they will activate it. With no one to request it, the City of Danville has to take initiative to activate the district. The entertainment district allows people to take an alcoholic drink purchased from a licensed establishment outside in a certain area while walking around or sitting in a park. Currently, there’s no organization to take responsibility for promoting, requesting food trucks, or requesting to activate the entertainment district. Business owners and the promotions committee have coordinated it this month, but have no central spot for information, and no way of sending email blasts. Snyder said the Heart of Danville is unable to promote this month’s event, as they are busy closing out the organization. “In speaking with the other downtown businesses, it was definitely something we wanted to continue because we did feel like it was gaining some traction,” Snyder said. Snyder is part of the Heart of Danville’s promotions committee, which is made up of business owners and community volunteers that coordinated this and other downtown events. Now, promotion and coordination is up to the businesses.ĭowntown business owner Kate Snyder, who owns Plaid Elephant Bookstore, said that she and other business owners want to keep Third Thursdays going. The Heart helped promote the event and sent information through email blasts. Since the Heart of Danville, which started the event, is closing down at the end of this year, the future of the event is uncertain.
