The final award of the night went to the one and only Robbie Farabee, who was crowned as the official "Chalk Boss".

Robbie’s creativity and artistry have become an essential part of our downtown community. His chalk masterpieces at events and local businesses are more than just drawings – they’re works of art that bring life, color and personality to every corner of our community.

Robbie, your unique ability to personalize each piece with flair and passion makes every chalk design feel special. You’ve got a knack for turning ordinary spaces into extraordinary experience, and for that, we thank you! Your art doesn’t just decorate our streets – it tells a story!

Sturm Bros.' received a Community Spirit Award!

The Sturm Brothers team embodies what it means to be true partners in the community. They are always ready to lend a hand, whether it’s serving on the Design Team, planting and watering flowers, helping neighboring businesses, or hosting clean-up projects at local parks.

Their generosity knows no bounds, and their willingness to support causes and missions across Downtown Excelsior Springs makes them invaluable. Sturm Brothers, your contributions go far beyond jewelry; you bring heart, kindness, and a spirit of service that enriches us all. Thank you for being such a strong and positive force in our community!

Our next award was an Adaptability & Innovation award presented to Casa Di Vite International Wine Cafe!

Susan has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to evolving her business and finding new ways to meet the needs of our community. Recently, Susan transformed the upstairs of Casa Di Vite into an overnight rental, adding another much-needed bed to our district and offering guests a unique experience in our downtown.

In addition, Susan expanded the tasting room to offer delicious food options, which have been met with glowing reviews from customers. Her ability to pivot, adapt, and continuously improve her business model is truly commendable. Susan was also recently recognized as a winner of the prestigious Paul Bruhn Grant from Missouri Main Street Connection, which she will be using to make improvements to The Colonial at 328 E. Broadway. Your hard work, dedication, and vision have made Casa Di Vite a shining star in our community. Congratulations, Susan!

We also honored @sobtheatre Excelsior Springs Community Theatre /Slightly off Broadway Theatre with a Cultural Impact Award!

This recognition is especially meaningful because, as of last month, the theatre has officially become the full outright owner of the building at 114 N. Marietta! This achievement marks the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and a true commitment to bringing arts and culture to Downtown Excelsior Springs.

For well over a decade, this theatre has been a cornerstone of our arts scene, entertaining us with incredible performances, fostering local talent, and enriching the cultural fabric of our community. We are thrilled that you’ve reached this milestone and are now in full control of your space, which DEP has been financing since 2009. Congratulations on paying off your loan and for continuing to be a beacon of creativity and joy in our downtown!

Next we honored Knit Ewe Together, LLC with a Community Crafting Award!

Shawna, the owner, has built more than just a shop; she has created a sanctuary for creativity, learning, and connection. In a world that often feels rushed, Knit Ewe Together offers a space where people can slow down, enjoy the art of crafting, and bond with others who share their passion.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just beginning, Shawna welcomes everyone with open arms and an encouraging spirit. The shop isn’t just a place to purchase yarn and supplies—it’s a community where friendships are formed, skills are shared, and confidence is built. Shawna, your dedication to fostering a warm and inclusive environment where people can gather, relax, and create is inspiring. Thank you for being a pillar of creativity in our downtown community.
