Shop Local. Eat Local. Spend Local.

New Director Prepares
for Exciting Year
by Tonya Green Parker, Executive Director
As a local girl, I was super excited to
take on the role of Downtown Association
Director. My roots are in Vidalia and I’ve
always known the value of community
involvement and volunteerism. Since
being hired, I’ve been overwhelmed by the
kindness, encouragement, and support I
have received and I thank those of you for
that! Paula has loved and worked hard for
Downtown for 19 years; I plan to continue
the same. That’s pretty easy to do since we
live in such a great community. The DVA
board of directors and other committees
have worked hard to facilitate events,
promotions, and other things to make our
city inviting to our citizens as well as visitors.
In the online world we live in, our
community is so lucky to have so many great
brick and mortar stores with so much to
offer. Really there’s no need to go to bigger
cities or shop online, Downtown Vidalia and
beyond is where it’s at! We have so many
neat advertising campaigns promoting Shop
Local. Eat Local. Spend Local. My brain is
constantly running on new ways to keep
the good things we already have going…and
of course make them even better. We have
some exciting plans for the coming year and
we look forward to sharing them with you all.
