About the event
We "relish" our volunteers and it is time to show it! Main Street Ottumwa invites our current superstars and anyone curious about joining the team to a special night of food, fun, and recognition. Whether you have logged hundreds of hours or you are just looking for a way to get involved in our community’s revitalization, this night is for you.
Stop by anytime between 4:30 and 7:00pm to grab a free dog from our "franks" bar with all the fixings. It is a casual "come and go" atmosphere, but make sure you are there for our special Volunteer Awards ceremony at 6:00pm!
This is the perfect chance to meet the Main Street team, and celebrate the incredible work that makes our downtown thrive. Come for a dog, stay for the awards, and leave feeling like a real wiener!
