White Pine Main Street
Main Street America is a program focuses on revitalizing older and historic commercial districts to build vibrant neighborhoods and thriving economies. We implement proven Main Street strategies to benefit the communities throughout White Pine County.
White Pine Main Street welcomes Rachelle Bonnett as its new Executive Director!
Originally from Juneau, Alaska, Rachelle brings a decade of experience in the arts and nonprofit sector, along with a passion for using the arts to create vibrant spaces, strengthen communities, support local businesses, and drive economic vitality. Prior to joining White Pine Main Street, she served as Gallery and Programs Manager for the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council and as Executive Director of the Juneau Softball Association.
Rachelle is excited to join White Pine Main Street at a time when there’s so much excitement and momentum throughout Ely and White Pine County. She looks forward to getting to know the people and places that make the community so special and working alongside local businesses, volunteers, and partner organizations to help continue the great work already underway.
Outside of her professional work, Rachelle is a visual artist whose work is inspired by the many landscapes she’s lived in and explored. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll likely find her at the softball field, camping, or enjoying the outdoors with her partner and their dogs.
Please join us in welcoming Rachelle to White Pine Main Street and the White Pine County community!
Rachelle can be reached via email: whitepinemainstreet@gmail.com
Support the Dale Heckethorn Mural Project!
White Pine Main Street Association, in partnership with the Ely Volunteer Fire Department and the Nevada Northern Railway, is proud to announce the Dale Heckethorn Mural.
If you’ve spent any time in Ely, you’ve likely seen Dale around town. As the City of Ely’s longest-serving employee, a dedicated volunteer firefighter, the familiar face waving at every train on 7th Street, and the caretaker of the beloved duck pond, Dale has become a true local icon.
We’re raising $15,000 to design and create a mural that celebrates Dale’s lifelong dedication to our community. Your donation will help honor someone who has spent decades making Ely a warmer, friendlier place to call home. Thank you for helping bring this project to life!
