Destination Midtown, in partnership with the Midtown Business Association and the Midtown Neighborhood Alliance, will celebrate the Best of Midtown at a community open house on tonight from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Midtown Crossing at Turner Park, 3110 Farnam St.
This free, family-friendly event will showcase successes from 2009 and highlight opportunities and projects in 2010. Food and refreshments will be provided.
“The goal of the Best of Midtown Awards is to recognize the outstanding contribution of an individual, an organization and a business that has made Midtown a premier place to live, work, shop and play,” said Jamie Grayson-Berglund, director of community development for the Greater Omaha Chamber.
The event also will feature booths from a variety of Midtown businesses, including UNMC, along with displays of current and upcoming redevelopment projects in the area.
The Best of Midtown is a terrific opportunity for members of the community and surrounding neighborhoods to become more knowledgeable of the services that are provided in Midtown Omaha.
A brief presentation and the Best of Midtown Awards ceremony will be held at 5:30 p.m.
Entertainment will be provided by comedy juggler, Jek Kelly, and this year’s Omaha Entertainment Award Artist of the Year, Brad Hoshaw.
