Smile

What makes Kate Baker smile? “The kindness of others, my nieces and nephew, laughter, my dogs, the ocean. There are so many things that bring me joy.” She’s “an incredibly proud aunt, the best title I’ve ever had,” and “a proud mom” to her two sweet huskies, Dakota and Dasher. Since coming on to the job as Noblesville Main Street’s executive director, Baker feels right at home. She invites everyone to stop in. “I love hearing about what people value about Noblesville Main Street and, of course, what they’d like to see from us in the future,” she said. In Noblesville, Baker grew up singing and loving theater. She was involved in high-school drama productions and sang with Noblesville High School’s NHS Singers and New Dimension show choirs, and she still sings in the chancel choir at Noblesville First United Methodist Church. Currently, she’s preparing for Noblesville Main Street’s First Friday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. today in downtown Noblesville. The event, “Magic of the Square,” and the season opening of the Noblesville Farmers Market, which is 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, and continues a total 24 Saturdays, through Oct. 14, at Federal Hill Commons.
