Stores in downtown Appleton were hoping to get a boost from the crowds at Mile of Music.
Jennifer Stephany of Appleton Downtown Incorporated says some put items on the sidewalks to draw attention to their businesses. She’s been pushing for that, for a few years.
Stephany believes the addition of more venues on the east end of College Avenue is also making a difference. She says there’s more of a flow of people along the entire stretch of the street in the downtown.
Stephany believes the record attendance had a positive impact on all businesses in the downtown.
