Mahaska County YMCA Brings New Event to Community
Osky Winter Open
February 10th and 11th
The Mahaska County YMCA is excited to offer the start of a new winter tradition in Oskaloosa. When the weather is frightful and we’re ready for some warmth and sunshine, escape with us to play 18 holes of golf, mini-putt style at Penn Central Mall. This creative two-day event is geared for the whole community. “We will offer open golf to the community Friday evening and all day Saturday. You do not need tee-time reservations. Just come and have some family fun,” said committee member Madonna Bowie. “Friday night will be reserved for middle-school students only from 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. For $20, they will have unlimited golf and laser tag. The middle-school youth I have talked to are very excited about this opportunity for a fun night,” added event committee chair, Linda Crookham-Hansen.
The YMCA leadership in partnership with supportive area businesses and individuals will join together to create a fun, safe, and family-friendly environment where people can get out and socialize, join in fun competition, and burn off some extra energy. “So far we have twelve local businesses committed to sponsoring a hole. We are still seeking additional hole sponsors. If you are interested, please contact a member of the committee or call me at the YMCA anytime,” said Dawn Collins, Executive Director. “Committee members Glenda Booy, Austin Norris and Karl Seidel are coordinating hole sponsorships.”
Event proceeds will benefit the Mahaska YMCA efforts to enhance the Y with long overdue additions and updates. Event details, including cost and hours, are available on the Mahaska County YMCA website at www.mahaskaymca.org. For more information, contact the Mahaska County YMCA at 641.673.8411.
