New Year, New FAI, Exciting New Direction!!!  In 2010 a small group of Fortville residents had an idea to build a better community and help revitalize Main Street.  They filed their paperwork, incorporated and within a year had been designated an Indiana Main Street.  Since then, FAI has grown and worked hard to host events that bring the community together and promote the varied businesses on Main Street.  These events include Winterfest, the Summer Concert Series, Clean-Up day, Downtown Development Week events -the list goes on.

After a very successful 2021 Winterfest, the current members met and made the decision to change our focus.  Main Street is thriving and attracting visitors from all over Indiana.  What we would like to do now is focus on projects to better Fortville, not just events.  So, in January we handed over our Winterfest manual to the town and they have gladly taken over this event.  We will continue with existing projects such as Clean-up Day, Bikes in Bloom, etc.

An example of two projects we've completed are The Alley and The Patio.  Both of these offer an enchanting venue to sit outdoors and enjoy our Main Street.  We were able to complete these projects with sponsorship money, donations, and a grant from the Hancock County Community Foundation.

We will actively be working with the town to identify projects that will further enhance the charm of our small town.  We hope you will continue to support us as we move forward in this new direction.  Oh, and we will still host the Golf Outing in August!  Stay tuned for details!

In closing, we thank all of you for the support you’ve given us these past years and we look forward to continuing that relationship as we move into this new phase.  We respectfully request your continued financial support.  Checks may be mailed to FAI, PO Box 424, Fortville, In 46040 if one of the preset options  on this site doesn't fit your need.

Thank you
