What is Promotion known for?
Playin' on the Plaza
This music series starts in mid-June and runs on Thursdays, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, in downtown West Union, at the amphitheater until early to mid-August. Each week features a different local musician, giving the West Union community an opportunity to gather and visit with friends, family, and neighbors. The Promotion Committee starts its search early each year, looking to fill the calendar up with a combination of familiar faces and new talent.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is a festive and community-oriented Halloween event that provides a safe and enjoyable alternative to traditional trick-or-treating. Organized by the Promotion Committee, with insight from long-time organizer and volunteer Jessica Sadler, Trunk or Treat brings together families, businesses, and volunteers in downtown West Union. With added kids' games, run by Cub Scout Pack 54, the event is always growing as more people come from all over to experience it.
