Downtown Cleveland was alive Thursday afternoon with a large crowd participating in the White County Chamber of Commerce Business Block Party. Hundreds of people took advantage of the great weather to stroll around Freedom Park and check out the many businesses and service organizations that participated.
White County Chamber of Commerce President Beth Truelove said they were able to expand the event this year by moving it outdoors.
“Yes, we sold out quickly. We expanded by almost 50 percent by being able to move it outside to the park and it’s done really well. The community came out and supported it and the businesses did too,” she said.
This is the first year the event has been held outdoors. Asked if they’ll do the same next year, Truelove said, “If that is what the people want, we’ll do it.”
