Chamber of Hiawatha Community Improvement

Goal: $20,000.00

Specific Need

The Hiawatha Chamber and Visitors Bureau Community Improvement Committee is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for visitors from far and wide as well as a sense of pride for our NE Kansas area.  

We are creating fiberglass maple leaves to "blow" throughout town and look at what Hiawatha has to offer in the way of its history, the arts, businesses and more.  

We will end the project with a garden dedicated to Mrs. Krebs, Mother of Modern Halloween, with the world's largest Jack-O-Lantern surrounded by raised flower beds housing fiberglass maples celebrating famous Hiawathians like Coach John McLendon JR, Bill Martin JR, Bernard Martin, William M. Gallagher, Thomas Wilson Williamson, and many many more.

In addition we will be looking at ways to help continue to add to the beautification and upkeep of things in town like additional murals, helping to keep murals fresh and cared for, businesses beautification grants, adding more maple trees in town and more. As well as working on new ways to help advertise our amazing community to increase traffic to Hiawatha. 

Mission

To promote and celebrate Hiawatha's history through the arts and roadside attractions to draw visitors into our community.
