Over 200 people attended the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa’s Celebration of Community event this past Friday at the Diamond Event Center in Cedar Falls.
The organization announced 300-thousand dollars in grants to several organizations, including the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, who received a 50-thousand dollar grant for their Destination Surf Campaign.
This campaign will connect two of Clear Lake’s most treasured assets, the lake itself and the Surf Ballroom, creating a unique experience for residents and visitors.
This enhancement will bridge the historic ballroom, the new Music Enrichment and Immersive Museum, the Farmer’s Market, a future bowling alley and boutique hotel, and restaurants to the lakefront, providing a lasting boost to the regional economy.
