Oskaloosa will be busy this weekend.  The annual Art on the Square will take place Saturday (6/11) on the Oskaloosa town square with local artists displaying their wares.  Amy Brainard with Oskaloosa Main Street says businesses around the square are getting into the spirit of Art on the Square, too.

“This is the second year for our window art murals.  This year’s theme is ‘Wild About Art.’  We have 33 business windows in the downtown district that are getting painted.  So they will have different paintings in their front windows and it will be related back to the ‘Wild About Art’ theme.”

Art on the Square will run from 10am to 4pm Saturday at the square in downtown Oskaloosa.  That’s one of several events in Oskaloosa this week.  On Thursday (6/9), the Oskaloosa City Band will perform for the first time this summer at the bandstand on the square.  There will also be music in the Alley Thursday night for Thankful Thursday.  Then on Friday (6/10), there will be an Oskaloosa High School reunion along with Friday After Five on the square.
