Meet our 2014 Community Spirit Award winners!
The Community Spirit Award is presented for supporting efforts to “reclaim” Old Town neighborhoods for residential use, enhancing the rich quality of life in Old Town.
Joe was the director of Noblesville Main Street for nine years, retiring in 2013. During that time he started the “First Friday” program, the downtown concert series “Jazz on the Square”, and the annual Soup Cook-Off. He built the annual Street Dance into a mid-summer spectacle that attracts thousands to the Courthouse Square, and built the Noblesville Farmers Market into the most popular market in the country. Joe is a hands-on manager and could be found unloading and reloading his truck just about every night during the summer. His cheerful demeanor and can-do attitude along with that soft Tennessee accent, made it hard to refuse his repeated requests to volunteer at downtown events.
