Christmas In July A Success In Community Spirit

Oskaloosa, Iowa – The Oskaloosa Main Street was all set to enjoy a Saturday in the park for Christmas in July, but Mother Nature had other plans and drove the party indoors to the Penn Central Mall.
Jessica Reuter, Oskaloosa Main Street Director, explained that the decision to move indoors wasn’t taken lightly. Still, with an already soggy downtown, the promise of rain made that decision easier to move indoors.
Christmas in July is a downtown event that helps raise funds for Oskaloosa’s ‘Painting With Lights’ program. The goal is to help keep the program going, and to also expand it one day, hopefully.
