The sun is shining on our wonderful village as we start a new week and a new month. The crews are working hard in our downtown addressing the aging infrastructure that plagues many areas of our country. Vicksburg has been on the map for almost 150 years, and we'll be leading the way for the next 150 years as well. Count on it. ... See MoreSee Less

You need a hashtag, Alex! 😘

Anything we can do to help promote the small businesses downtown? The upgrades were clearly necessary but would love to do more to ensure our downtown small business owners are still around once the work is finished.

Question: Will North main street be torn up? If yes do you know when or if there is a set date? Thanks in advance.

150? That's possible. Unless the guy buying up half the property in vburg changes the name to Mooresville.

Public Bike Art Competition Is Open

Kalamazoo, Michigan -- Bike Friendly Kalamazoo is pleased to announce the opening of its Public Bike Art Competition for 2021. The art is intended for display on banners mounted on public lamp poles and other imprinted media, with themes evoking the joys of bicycling. The Competition is backed by $1,750 in cash awards thanks to a grant from The Vicksburg Foundation. The awards will be within reach of desktop artists since entries are submitted digitally (see www.fallbikecelebration.org).

The Competition is open to US citizens 18 years and older and is aimed at raising funds for public charitable causes related to bicycling. The deadline for all entries is Thursday September 2, 2021 at 11:59pm.

Lori Knapp, a member of the Kalamazoo County Public Art Commission and Portage City Council member, is chairing the jury committee. The committee, comprised of representatives of local art councils, organizations and municipalities will conduct the selection process and certify voting. Winners will be announced in a public ceremony on September 18, 2021 on the grounds of the Vicksburg Community Pavilion in the Village of Vicksburg, MI during Bike Friendly Kalamazoo’s Fall Bike Celebration Weekend.

Bike Friendly Kalamazoo’s Chair & President Paul Selden said his board was happy with last year’s Competition and decided to run it again. “Last year our announcements via social media reached more than 80,000 people and drew entries from more than 20 states across the USA,” observed Selden. “We were also delighted that Consort Display Group offered the winning banner designs from last year for sale and is donating a portion of the proceeds to raise funds for education, awareness-building and public safety. That this community raised such a generous amount in prize monies during difficult times testifies to the generosity and public spirit of our sponsors and the artistic support found in the Village of Vicksburg, Michigan.”

Competition rules and entry materials are at www.fallbikecelebration.org.
