LAKEPORT, Calif. – In an effort to include more of the community in the programs and projects of the Lakeport Main Street Association, the organization is conducting a membership drive during the month of June.  

Businesses, residents and property owners who become members by June 30 receive these special benefits: two tickets to the Soper-Reese Theatre Classic Film Series, a complimentary glass of wine at any Main Street Gallery First Friday Fling and a buy one-get one free ticket for the Taste of Lakeport on August 24.

Membership dues are $75 per year for businesses and $50 per year for individuals. A membership application is available at www.lakeportmainstreet.com or at the LMSA desk in the lobby of the Lakeport City Hall at 225 Park St.

LMSA follows the National Trust for Historic Preservation Main Street program and provides the Lakeport community with hanging flower baskets on downtown lamp posts in the summer, Christmas decorations on the lamp posts in the winter, and seasonal banners year ‘round; produces annual events such as the Main Street Trick or Treat, Very Merry Main Street, the Taste of Lakeport, Children’s Pet Parade, July 4 arts and crafts fair and downtown clean up day.  

The association also produces an historic walking tour guide and shopping guide.
