Ten years ago, the organization began hosting Main Street Manning Annual Event. During this event, awards are given to three Main Street Manning Businesses. The three categories are Most Hospitable Business, Best Window Display and Best Building Renovation.

Each category has a specific meaning behind the award,” explained Carrie Trebil, Director of Tourism and Community Development for the City of Manning. “The winner for the Most Hospitable Business must represent our City, known for beauty and hospitality. The award for Best Window Display is about the design in the businesses windows and the award for Best Building Renovation is to encourage businesses, especially in the older buildings to renovate and re-design.” Any business inside the city of Manning limits is can be voted for and is eligible to win.

I love theses awards. They are such a unique way to recognize our local businesses in the city.” said Trebil. Mayor Julia Nelson feels the same way.
