July 20-25: Main Street Hosts Restaurant Week. Citizens can add flavor and fun to their summer by participating in Restaurant Week 2015, which kicks off on Monday, July 20, from 5-9 p.m. Citizens may purchase a $20 wristband at the historic courthouse square, which will get them a pour of a signature drink and a taste of a meal from each restaurant's fixed price menu for the week. Live music will also fill the square as citizens explore the downtown culinary scene. Citizens are also encouraged to return daily throughout the week, July 21-25, to discover the delicious lunch and dinner options that the downtown restaurants have to offer.
