 After Brainerd did not make the list of top five towns still in the running for the small business revolution contest, the city is already making future plans for their own revitalization. Sarah Winckelman joins us now live from our Brainerd studio with more. Thanks, Dennis. Now, even though the contest didn't end the way that Brainerd had hoped, Chamber President Matt Killian says they're still in it to win it. That is for the future of Brainerd. The announcement of condensing the top 10 down to the top five was made on a Facebook live video yesterday and to the shock of many, Brainerd was not called. We fully expected that we'd be on the top five. The community worked so hard and, you know, it was disappointing. Although it was sad news, it was something the Chamber had prepared for. And all along we knew that there was a possibility that that wouldn't happen. So we were planning the whole time for if we don't make the top five, then what? After a few moments of disappointment, the team jumped into action and started to work on the My Brainerd rally, River to Rails. There's more to Brainerd than just downtown. Downtown is certainly the heart and the core of the community, but we also have tremendous revitalization efforts happening at the Northern Pacific Center as well as on the Mississippi Riverfront. In a partnership with the Brainerd Lakes Area Economic Development Corporation, the rally is open to the public to hear about ideas for the future of Brainerd. With all these great projects occurring, it felt like we should bring everyone together and have each of these entities share what they've been working on and what their vision is for the future. The River to Rails rally will focus on certain projects and then be open to anyone as part of their Brainerd storming session. And the River to Rails effort is a long-term 20 to 30 year vision to totally revitalize our Brainerd community. To bring about positive change for Brainerd. And hopefully create some more momentum, new projects, new strategies to keep the momentum going in our community. After a contest gave the community new hope and life. We could have never predicted that it would really rally the community together. The community learned to believe it in itself again and that was really important. The My Brainerd rally will be held on Monday, February 26th at the Northern Pacific Center in Brainerd. Dennis? All right thank you very much Sarah for that live report from our Brainerd studio.
