EP25 - Woodward Main St with Sarah - a podcast by Brian Cook And Kindra Cox

On Episode 25 of The Brian and Kindra Show, they discussed the Historic Downtown Woodward Main St. with Director Sarah Vaverka. As Realtors, Brian and Kindra believe that their job is not only to sell a home, but to sell Woodward and Northwest Oklahoma. 

Woodward Main Street is a non-profit organization, who is also a part of Oklahoma Main Street. Their mission: To help create a unique and vital downtown, that enriches the business community. Every event they produce is to enrich the downtown area. Brian and Kindra highlight the close-knit community of Woodward to draw attention to its uniqueness, getting people to come to Woodward and stay in Woodward. They promote Woodward as a community that is active and thriving and Main Street is just that. 

In just over a year, Woodward Main Street has been under new direction. For the first year, the goal of Main Street was to remind the community that there is a downtown. Establishing a multitude of events like First Friday, Main Street is now thriving. First Fridays happen on the first Friday of each month (except for two), hosting a community or retail event in the Main Street corridor. The first First Friday in 2019 was Food Truck Wars. This was easily one of the biggest events of the year and is something they plan to grow yearly. For 2020, they established a Food Truck Committee and have partnered with Woodward Tourism and The Arts Theatre.

Why discuss Woodward Main Street on a Real Estate show? Brian and Kindra firmly believe that the independent, self-employed businesses, like those on Main Street, are the heart of the town. If you are looking to start a business or open shop, there is a lot of help out there. Currently, there are several vacant/available buildings on Woodward Main Street and there are four new businesses that have opened on/or transferred to Main Street. 

Between Brian, Kindra, and Sarah the connections to discuss an idea and start a business are at your fingertips. Brian and Kindra can set you up with a great location on Main St and as Director, Sarah loves to connect people and make a warm welcome. 

Woodward Main Street businesses have done a great job pivoting during COVID-19. A lot of them have websites that you can shop from, making it easy to shop local. All the ‘Friends of Main Street’ are linked on the Woodward Main Street webpage, woodardmainstreet.net.

Brian and Kindra LOVE Woodward. They love real estate and want to support the community in which they live. They believe in supporting Woodward and that is one of their biggest goals. 

Brian and Kindra hope these tips have been helpful to you. As always, if you have any questions or need help, please feel free to reach out to your local real estate professional.
