This morning, First National Bank President Don Price presented a check to Mike Harris of the Market Street MTC group that is building a new stage for the Uptown Amphitheater in the 300 block of Market Street.
Market Street MTC is a local, Illinois Not-For-Profit corporation and is leading the way both in fundraising efforts and coordination of construction.
While final stage details are being worked out, a fundraising goal of $20,000 has been set to complete phase one. The initial phase includes not only the stage structure and electrical service, but other portions of the Amphitheater yet to be completed. Those items include: touch up and multiple applications of sealer on the existing north wall mural, cleaning-caulking-priming and cost of paint to prepare the south wall for a second mural, and lighting on either side of the area over the tables.
Donations in any amount from organizations, businesses and individuals are being accepted. Checks may be made out to Market Street MTC and addressed to PO Box 305, Mt. Carmel, IL., 62863.
