Robin Bostrom of Main Street West Union, said she has been advised the economic impact on the community as a result of Extreme Makeover's presence, will be close to $1 million.
The following information is being disseminated by Main Street West Union:
In conjunction with the build this week, there will be a couple of fundraising events taking place. A “Stuff the Bus” food drive to benefit the Northeast Iowa Food Bank is being held with North Fayette and South Winn schools. Everyone is encouraged to help fill the school bus located at the high school to the roof with non-perishable food items.
This is the local charity identified by the family. There will also be collection cans placed around the community for cash donations to the Family & Build Fund to help cover expenses for the family. If you would like a can for your business, please call the Main Street office at 422-3070. There is also a raffle taking place with a chance to win a tour of the house and several autographed items from Ty and the show’s designers. Raffle tickets will be available for sale at the Main Street office and sell for $5 each or 5 for $20. All funds raised go to the Family & Build Fund and can be left at the Main Street office.
NF Volleyball Game
Everyone is invited to attend the NF Volleyball game on Tuesday night. If you bring 5 non-perishable items you will be admitted free. We hope to have someone from Extreme at the game to talk about the build but it has not yet been confirmed at this time.
Reveal Day
The reveal day is Sunday, Oct. 9 at 2 p.m. This is the “Move the Bus” day and a large crowd is expected. The show’s producers have said to expect 10,000+ people for this event. If you would like to be there you will need to shuttle out from the fairgrounds. Additional shuttle sites will be determined during the week and will be blasted out via email, newspaper, and radio.
