The Hastings Downtown Business Team marched down State Street in Hastings Friday afternoon, carrying colorful balloons and stopping in downtown businesses to invite them to visit the shopdowntownhastings.com web site that is now live, and to like their Facebook page “shop downtown hastings.com.”  The group hopes all of Hastings downtown businesses will participate in the website and join the team.  

Karen Heath is the Hastings Downtown Business Team captain. Members are Kendy Varble of the Sugar Ribbon, Tracy Baker of At Home Real Estate, Jenny Sykes of Bee Eclectic Porcelain Dolls, Kathy Conklin of Gilmore Jewelers, Scott Oman and Teresa  Smith and Sue Radant from WBCH Radio.
