Cant make it, but still want to help?
One Afternoon. One Block Party. One Big Impact.
Because small towns deserve big dreams.
And our kids deserve a park that actually works for them.
Right now, our playground is outdated. Our kids don’t have a safe, fun place to gather, run, and just be kids. But we’re only $9,000 away from finishing the upgrades—and this Tractor Parade + Block Party is how we’ll do it.
This isn’t just about slides and swings.
It’s about building something lasting.
Something that says:
“We showed up for our town. We showed up for our kids.”
Every sandwich you eat. Every raffle ticket you buy. Every bounce house wristband, every dollar to park—it all goes straight to the park fund.
Let’s leave our mark. Let’s finish this. Together.
Everything You Need to Know Before the Parade
What time does the parade start?
Tractors roll out at 12:00 PM sharp!
It usually takes them about 15–20 minutes for the candy to start hitting the streets, so don’t forget to bring a bag!
Where do we park?
You can park at the old elementary school — it’s now a private home & business, but the owners are letting us use it for a free will donation. Every dollar goes straight to the park fund.
Is food free?
Everything’s available for free will donation — give what you can! 100% of proceeds go to revamping Oyens Park for our kids.
Is the ice cream machine real?
Rumor has it… yes. But you’ll have to show up to find out. 😉
What’s happening after the parade?
A full-on block party with food, music, lawn games, bounce houses, and plenty of small-town magic.
How does the 50/50 raffle work?
Tickets are $10 — half goes to the winner, half goes to the park fund. We’ll draw the winner at the end of the event, and someone’s walking away with cash in hand!
Will there be stuff for kids?
Absolutely! We’ve got bounce houses, giant slides, candy tossing, and space to run wild. Kid heaven, basically.
What if I can’t come but still want to help?
We’d love your support! You can:
Donate directly: Help us cross the finish line
Share the event with friends & family
Bring the kids, grab a lawn chair, and experience the charm of 100+ tractors rolling through town - there’s nothing more Oyens than this!
Let's build this, together.
We've raised $19,500/ $28,500 needed for park equipment.
All proceeds will go towards park equipment in Oyens, Iowa.
