Oskaloosa Christian School won the people choice award for 2020.
(Oskaloosa, Iowa) – Oskaloosa Main Street is excited to announce the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place People’s Choice Awards for the 2020 Lighted Christmas Display, which was held downtown as a drive-thru event on Saturday, December 5, 2020. Voting opened shortly after 6pm on Saturday night and closed at noon on Monday.
