2014 Memorial CircleOdebolt needed new Christmas lights. They were getting shabby.
Several years ago Shear Magic Salon & Boutique (Rose Bengford Shultz and Janet Hoefling Thomas) started having a Christmas bake sale to raise funds for new lights and had raised a good sum to start the effort.
This year Sue (Gronemeyer) Beers saw Shear
Magic Salon & Boutique's post on Facebook about the baked goods for sale and
wondered how much was needed for new lights. She and her brother, Steve,
decided to start a matching funds drive to raise the money needed for
new lights. All donations up to $2500 would be matched in memory of
their parents, P. Dale and Marge Gronemeyer, and their brother, Todd. A
Facebook post was made encouraging people to donate to the fund match,
and the rest is history!
The City of Odebolt would like to thank Shear Magic Salon & Boutique for starting the Christmas lights fund! And thank you to the Gronemeyer family for kick-starting the challenge!
Below are those that donated to the fund:
