Rough Risers’ Kettle Corn at the 4th Street Cruise: A Poppin' Success!

This past Saturday, May 24th, the Cedar Falls Kiwanis Rough Risers club had an exciting day at the 4th Street Cruise, where we spent over four hours popping up our famous Kettle Corn. The event was a massive hit, and by the end of the day, we’d popped nearly 300 bags—talk about a lot of kernels!

And here’s the best part: we earned an impressive $2,661! The crowd was nonstop, with a line that seemed never-ending. We even got the chance to sell to parade-goers zooming by in their cars! It was a fast-paced, fun-filled day, and we’re so grateful to everyone who stopped by to grab a bag (or two!) of our delicious Kettle Corn.

With all the support, we’re one step closer to making a better community, one kid and one kernel at a time.

Bell Ringers Attend Salvation Army Volunteer Dinner for Celebration

 

Barb Sanders and Leigh Zeitz attended the 2025 Salvation Army Dinner Celebration of Volunteers on Thursday, May 9.  It was an opportunity to meet and other volunteers who have been doing a variety of jobs including picking up and delivering food, serving weekly meals to customers, raising money through bell ringing, and many other ways to support people.

Barb and Leigh were invited because of their bell ringing during Christmas time.  The other Kiwanis members who rang bells last season were Dale and Sara Jansen, Jim Larson, Randy Lee, Bob Dickenson, Leigh Zeitz, Rod Hamer, and others.  

Thank you for all your work.
