Main Street Orion

Hey, Hustlers! We’ve got an updated route for this year’s Halloween Hustle — check out the attached map for details! 🗺️

🕓 The walk kicks off promptly at 4:00 PM, so make sure to arrive a few minutes early. Please remember to follow the leader and stay on the sidewalks whenever possible. Our awesome volunteers will be out helping with traffic control, so be sure to listen to their directions — your safety comes first! 🚦

👻 Parents, we kindly ask that you keep kiddos close and contained, and stay alert for cars, as roads will remain open during the event.

Before or after the walk, swing by the park for some snacks and fun before village trick-or-treating begins at 5:00 PM! 🍬

Let’s make this a safe, spooktacular time for everyone! 🧡
Happy Halloween! 🎃👟🕸️

🍂✨ It’s officially Fall Fest Week in Orion and we couldn’t be more excited! 🎉

One of the highlights of the week is the Miss Main Street Orion Pageant along with the inspiring Miss Social Impact Contest. 💖

The Miss Social Impact program is truly special — each contestant chooses a cause close to her heart to raise money for. 🌎💪 Here’s how it works:
✔️ 50% of the funds raised go directly to her chosen cause.
✔️ The other 50% is split between Main Street Orion and a charity chosen by Main Street.

In just 3 years, this program has raised over $10,000 and supported 60+ charities. 🙌 That’s the power of community at work!

✨ Today’s donation buckets are located at Cash Cow Coffee, Inc and The Enchanted Florist- Orion, IL. Stop in, donate, and treat yourself to a Dizzy Dairy while you’re at it — you won’t be disappointed! ☕️

If you would like to donate but can’t make it in person you can Venmo with the contestants name in the comment field.

Let’s keep the momentum going and show our support for these amazing young women and their causes. 💛
