The Dalles Main Street Program’s “Why Shop Downtown The Dalles” video project received an Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Award for the “Best Marketing Project” from Oregon Main Street Wednesday as the orgainzation’s conference got underway in The Dalles.   The “Why Shop Downtown The Dalles” video series was designed to showcase downtown businesses in short two to three minute video segments, and were filmed by volunteers using only a cellphone.  Current “editor in chief” Hanna Oliver became involved as a student at the Columbia Gorge Community College where she was taking a Marketing class.  Videos are posted on YouTube, the Main Street website, and Facebook.   The Dalles Main Street Executive Director Matthew Klebes says the videos have been very well received and there is now a waiting list, adding they plan to keep producing them until every downtown business has one.
