Bobcat Christmas Spirit Campaign
Mother "B" Nature has tried to get the best of us here in Marshalltown, but we are not going to let that wind bag win.  We will continue to recover & grow. 

One of the great traditions of Marshalltown, is the Holiday Stroll.  Families come to the Marshalltown central business district to enjoy the kick off to the holiday season with entertainment, activities, a lit parade and Santa. Generations of people gather and build memories together.  Last year, Santa noticed that the wreaths are in dire straights, and need replaced.  His reindeer turned up their noses, and said we could do better for our community. 
In order to replace the wreaths before this year's Holiday Stroll, we will need to get our order in by August 1st, or the Grinch will not deliver them on time.  The new wreaths will be 4' in diameter and brightly lit with a multi colored LEDS.  We need every Elfyn person's help to raise these funds.
With every donation, Krusty Klaus will take a lump of coal out of your stocking.  We know you have been looking for a good deed, to turn things around.  Here's your chance to get off the naughty list. 
​
Add to the Bobcat Christmas Spirit and Love for the Marshalltown Community by sharing your holiday spirit this summer by making a donation.  Tell Scrooge, you are Team Marshalltown Bobcat, and make your donation!
