The Oskaloosa City Band To Honor Those That Serve Us At Home

The Oskaloosa City Band

The Oskaloosa City Band will perform on Oskaloosa’s historic bandstand on Thursday evening at 8 p.m. This week, the band will be under the direction of Gidget Utterback and Nathan Smith. Utterback teaches Music at Keota and Fremont, and plays alto saxophone in the city band. Smith teaches music at Twin Cedars and plays oboe in the city band.

Special guests at Thursday’s festivities will be our Emergency Services. To honor them, everyone is encouraged to wear Blue on Thursday to show their support. The street on the east side of the square will be filled with Oskaloosa Police, Mahaska County Sheriff, Oskaloosa Fire Department, Mahaska Health Partnership ambulance and paramedics, and Mahaska County Emergency Management. It will be a great opportunity to shake hands and thank our community members who work tirelessly to protect and keep us safe. Bring your children to meet and talk with our local emergency service providers and tour their vehicles.

Yard games and food vendors will open at 5:30 and continue throughout the evening.
