The Spirit of Main Street award was Dr. Caesar Carrino of Main Street Wadsworth.
Carrino is an expert on the history of Wadsworth and makes sure to share his knowledge with those around him, whether it be fellow residents or visitors just passing through. Caesar served as the mayor of Wadsworth during 9/11, and since then has published many books about Wadsworth. He was an early advocate of Wadsworth becoming an Ohio Main Street community.
During the pandemic, Caesar stepped up and became Main Street Wadsworth’s most reliable volunteer. In addition to being a resource of knowledge, Caesar also adorns any costume needed to make a Main Street Wadsworth event complete. Throughout November and December of 2020, Caesar showed up for Holiday Magic on Main Street in a Santa Claus costume to greet the children through a glass screen to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines.
