Sculpture Contest Continues To Benefit Area Youth
Oskaloosa, Iowa – Inside of Penn Central Mall, you will find a most curious sculpture contest. The creative masterpieces are made with materials every kid needs to go back to school.
The best part of the contest is that the youth in the area ultimately benefit from the money raised by the creative designs.
The money raised is given to the United Way of Mahaska County and their ‘Operation Backpack’ program.
This year, 20 teams are participating, and teams have three days to finish their creations.
Starting Thursday, members of the community can then come and vote for their favorite creations.
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.

Stephen Memorial Teams Up With Penn Central To Introduce People To Their Potential Fur-Baby
Oskaloosa, Iowa – Helping shelter animals find their ‘fur-ever’ home is the driving motivation behind the annual adopt-a-thon held at Penn Central Mall recently.
Shanna Smith with Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter said the event is a good way for “us to get out into the community and, and just bring our animals to the public as opposed to the public coming to us. It’s good for people to know what we offer, what we do, what we need, what we can help out with.”
Smith explained that COVID-19 is still impacting how the public interacts at the shelter.
