On Tuesday, our Executive Director spent the day at the Missouri Capitol alongside our Main Street friends, advocating for the power of downtown revitalization and the impact the Main Street Approach has on communities across our state.

We were thrilled to meet with Mark Meirath House District 39 State Representative and State Senator Kurtis Gregory to share how the Main Street model continues to help strengthen Downtown Excelsior Springs. It allows us to support small businesses, spark investment, and create a district that’s more vibrant, welcoming, and full of momentum.

We also got to share some super exciting updates on our 2025 progress and initiatives, hand deliver copies of the Experience Excelsior Trip Planner and spotlight the incredible work of Missouri Main Street Connection, Inc., especially for communities that are just beginning their revitalization journeys.

Big thanks to our legislators for taking the time to visit with us, and to our Main Street partners for showing up and speaking up for strong downtowns!

What a night at the Merchant Mingle! 💚

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for tonight’s Merchant Mingle & 2026 Experience Excelsior Trip Planner Launch Party! The room was full, the conversations were great, and it was so fun seeing everyone flipping through the new Trip Planners together. 🙌

We packed a lot into one evening:
Updates from our DEP Teams – Promotion, Organization, Economic Vitality, Design, Christmas, Home Brew, BBQ, Opal Wapoo & Website
A sneak peek at 2026 events and initiatives
A first look at how we’re getting ready for the FIFA World Cup and the visitors it will bring to our region
Big-picture conversations about how we can keep growing Downtown Excelsior together

We missed those who couldn’t make it, but we truly had a fantastic turnout and so much great energy in the room tonight.

📚 Trip Planners will be making their way out across the state and in our community – keep an eye out, and be sure to grab some copies for your business and your guests.

Thank you for investing your time and talent into Downtown Excelsior Springs. Here’s to a big, bright 2026 for all of us.

A big thank you to Courtney Cole and Nate Williams for sharing pictures with us! 📸
