Old 20 Community Development Corporation

Old 20 Community Development Corporation Find out what is great about the Cushing, Iowa community. Sponsored by the Old 20 Community Developm It was named in the honor of L. Cushing Kimball.

Cushing, Iowa, incorporated in 1883, was originally known as Penrose. The name of the town was changed to Cushing on August 29, 1883. He was the brother of David P. Kimball, who was the director of the railroad company that built the bygone railroad line through Cushing. The town celebrated its quasquicentennial in 2008. Cushing is located just south of Highway 20 in eastern Woodbury County betwee

n Correctionville and Holstein. The city population of 220 and the surrounding citizens are known for their volunteerism. The determination and willingness of the residents to pull together is what makes this community a great place to live. Seven residents serve as the Board of Directors to form the Old 20 Community Development Corporation with the assistance of the Woodbury County Rural Economic Development Department. The directors are continually looking for ways to improve the quality of life for the community and desire to encourage businesses to locate here. A 501 ( c ) (3) non-profit status has been applied for. Contact the Old20CDC at the Cushing City Hall at 712-384-2189.

We want to thank everyone who came to the Cushing City Park today to enjoy Sunday Sundae. Here are a few photos and a couple of videos of the events we had going on.

The Foam Party is always a big hit with the kids as well as Meyer's Petting Zoo and the fire truck rides. New this year, we had Cassie's Rescue Birds and a Bottle Game where kids rolled balls at bottled drinks and if they hit one of the beverages, they won that beverage. Certain bottles were tagged as prize winners and the kids got to make a selection from a table full of prizes. We want to thank Brian Carstens for coordinating, managing the popular game and selecting all the great prizes. We also had a temporary tattoo station.

We did sell all of our Silent Auction items. We appreciate all the donators and everyone who took part in the bidding. We also wish to thank Missouri River Historical Development, Inc - MRHD for their help with making today's event possible and for one of their representatives paying a visit today.

We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and the ice cream sundaes!
