Grand Re-Opening of Trolley Stop Alley

Trolley Stop Alley Unveils its Creative Additions in a Golden Goose Appreciation and Grand Reopening Event Thursday, April 25th, 2024

OSKALOOSA – Organizers of the Trolley Stop Alley project and the Golden Goose Club proudly announce the grand re-opening of Trolley Stop Alley burrowed in the heart of downtown Oskaloosa. Thursday, April 25th, 2024,  6:30- 8:00 PM, the public is invited to the “unveiling” of new additions in this alley, located downtown on High Avenue West between Hunter’s Gift and Coffee Café and Tasos Steakhouse. Also celebrating the Golden Goose Club’s Appreciation, with its generosity in completing these unique additions, join us for snacks, cocktails, and a celebration of Trolley Stop Alley and the bygone days of the downtown trolley in Oskaloosa!

According to Steering Committee Member Ann Brouwer, “Planning for the Trolley Stop Alley project began in 2021 but, together with the Golden Goose Club, we were able to make some pretty exciting additions this year and we can’t wait to share them with the public!” Ann emphasized, “Trolley Stop Alley is designed to give the feeling of being transported into yesteryear. The space is a true celebration of an artistic view into the past!” 

Though Trolley Stop Alley is a second downtown renovated Alley, it is unique in its artistic “Trolley Stop” design and gives the feel of stepping back into another era. Creative recent additions to this exclusive space will be shown at the unveiling, including 3 window murals depicting historic Oskaloosa residents on Hunter’s Gift Shop and Coffee Cafe wall by artist, Brant Bollman; 3 New Historical Signs on the Taso’s wall (Committee members: Vicky Collette, Lynn Perkins, John Jacobs, John Bandstra, Ann Brouwer, and Musco Sign Shop’s Lindsay Wilcox); and 4 New Memorial Signs on the Delynn Overturf memorial trolley wall to commemorate artists, Nicole Pitts and Brant Bollman and Trolley Alley historians, John Bandstra and John Jacobs.

Vicky Collette of the Golden Goose Club shared, “The 3 new historical signs include a Transportation of Yesteryear depiction, a “did you know” poster-sized sign filled with fun facts, and a challenging Scavenger Hunt taking you through the downtown historical building markers for answers.” She continued sharing an example of one scavenger hunt question asking, “In 1918 something crashed through the 3rd-floor ceiling of the Mahaska County courthouse shattering two stone steps; what was it?” added, “While you may not have the answer now, you can find out where to look for it and many other fun questions at the celebration!”, once more, inviting the public to attend on April 25th.

Imagine a Dragon: A New Musical Performance

The dragon is back in town! Well… not really. That’s the story a ragtag band of innkeepers makes up, desperate to draw questing heroes to the struggling Dancing Dragon Inn. Soon the inn is full of unexpected guests, from an army of princesses out to prove their bravery to a group of overwhelmed heroes trying to hold onto their fame. But what happens if they all discover the innkeepers’ dragon story is made up? Could there be more than one way to save the day? An epic folk-rock score brings magic to this funny, heartfelt fantasy musical.
