We need your help! 🎄❤️🎄
Have you ever stopped to think about what it takes to light up downtown Oskaloosa each holiday season?
Our Painting with Lights program is one of the things that makes Oskaloosa so special during the holidays. With more than 300,000 lights outlining our beautiful downtown buildings, it's a tradition that brings families, friends, and visitors together year after year.
What many people don't realize is that it costs approximately $35,000 each year to keep those lights shining.
As we prepare for another holiday season, we're asking our community for a little help. Whether it's $10, $25, $100, or whatever you feel comfortable giving, every donation makes a difference.
I know there are a lot of wonderful organizations asking for support, but I hope you'll consider helping us continue a tradition that means so much to Oskaloosa.
If you'd like to make a donation, please reach out to us at Oskaloosa Main Street. We'd love to visit with you!
Thank you to everyone who has supported Painting with Lights over the years. We couldn't do it without you!
