Our goal is to make Prophetstown a more attractive option by giving our local residents and visitors to our town more reasons to visit and shop within the area. The Double Bucks program, T-shirt/tumbler discounts and Prophetstown Proud Bucks are just some of the promotions we have recently made available.
Each spring, flowers are planted in the planters lining Prophetstown’s Main Street and in the baskets hanging from the light poles. Flowers also adorn the baskets hanging in Eclipse Square. Adding color and character to our downtown, they provide a beautiful gateway to our community! Before the start of Christmas activities, the planters are decorated for the holidays.
Prophetstown Proud welcomes new business to the Prophetstown community with a ribbon cutting. This is a great way to introduce a new establishment to our town and neighboring areas. It also provides a wonderful photo for the local media!
Open Houses for new businesses are a good way to spread awareness about the services and products offered as well as gain the attention of potential new customers. They are also often held when the business expands into a new location or adds additional goods or services. When done in conjunction with a Ribbon Cutting, it is a grand way to start a new venture!
Prophetstown Proud hosts the City Wide Garage Sale each spring/early summer. For a nominal fee, participants receive a yard sign and are placed on the Garage Sale Map with the locations of each sale clearly marked. The maps are made available at local businesses for easy access by those interested. This is a fun weekend for browsers and bargain shoppers as they follow their maps and look for the perfect buy!
If you’d like to pay in person, please register at Hanford Insurance (312 Washington St) anytime Monday-Friday from 8-4.30.
