OSKALOOSA — One week remains to place your votes for the Oskaloosa Main Street Young Ambassador of your choice. Eleven local children, ages three through kindergarten are seeking monetary votes to become this year’s Young Ambassador King and Queen.
Local business owners sponsor participants by having a money bank with the name and picture of one prince or princess. Money placed in the canister of your choice is considered ‘votes’. As a reminder, any amount of money may be deposited. The Young Ambassador King and Queen will be announced Monday, December 2, 2024, at 6:00 pm at the Penn Central Mall. The event includes music, entertainment, and of course Santa and gifts.
Proceeds raised this year will be donated to the Oskaloosa Early Childhood Center and Oskaloosa Main Street’s Lighted Christmas Parade. The 36th annual parade will be held Saturday, December 7 at 7 pm in Downtown Oskaloosa where Young Ambassador participants are invited to hop aboard the Mahaska Drug Express.
Show your support by voting for these youngsters. Voting is now open and will close on Monday, December 2 at 11 am. For candidate and sponsor locations, call the Oskaloosa Main Street office of the Mahaska Chamber & Development Group at 641-672-2591, or find a list on the Oskaloosa Main Street Facebook page.
