Montpelier Alive

The cake arrives

MDCA unveiled its new name, Montpelier Alive, at our 10th Birthday Bash on August 20th.  Suzanne Eikenberry and Pinky Clark carry out the NECI created cake on which the name was released.

The Montpelier Downtown Community Association is now Montpelier Alive!  Read more about the name unveiling and our 10th birthday bash in the Times Argus article.

Although MDCA does lots and lots of good things for Montpelier, few people credit MDCA with the good that it does. We needed a new name that describes what we do and is easy to use and remember. So we ran a contest to Name That Org.  On August 20th, we announced the new name (Montpelier Alive) and the names of the 6 people who submitted the winning name.  They were Marianne Book, Hilari Farrington, Linda Hall, Jim Higgins, Abby Bruce, and Melissa Moon.  Read more on our press release here.

 

ABOVE: Three of the six people who submitted the winning name entry received their awards at the August 20th Birthday Bash.  Each winner received $20 in Capital City Cash, a free First Night button, and will have a special place in next year’s July 3rd parade.

LEFT: The first party-goers to receive their slice of cake.  The specially prepared cake was made by Chef Adrian Westrope and his students at NECI.
