Colfax Main Street celebrating 10 years

Colfax Main Street is celebrating 10 years of being a Main Street Iowa community! We’re throwing an anniversary party and you are all invited to join us! The celebration will be held Saturday, Sept. 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the former Hotel Colfax building (now Adult and Teen Challenge of the Midlands).

We’re recreating a turn-of-the-century four-course historic menu from one of Colfax’s former hotels for dinner! Dinner will consist of bruschetta; Caesar salad; entrée of either braised beef short ribs on Irish potatoes or chicken parmesan, and strawberry cheesecake for dessert.

In order to share some history of Colfax, we will be hosting tours of the historic Hotel Colfax building. Speakers for the evening will be Brad Magg, Vice President of Colfax Main Street, who will share a few of our major accomplishments over the last 10 years and Dave Baker of the Iowa history Facebook group “The 29th State” who will share a short presentation about Colfax. And, what celebration is complete without live entertainment? Colfax-Mingo graduate, Logan Paul, will entertain us with his piano music during the reception and dinner. And the celebration finale will be a concert with Richard and Emma Arndt.

The cost of the event is $35 per ticket and includes the four course meal plus all the fun activities. Purchase tickets from the Colfax Main Street Office, Absolutely YOUnique Boutique, and from Colfax Main Street board members.
