Okoboji marina raises money for Spencer flood relief
OKOBOJI, Iowa (KCAU) — By selling special t-shirts, Parks Marina in Okoboji has raised over $5,000 for victims of flooding in Spencer.
The marina announced Monday that $5,497 has been donated to the Spencer Chamber Foundation Flood Recovery Fund. That money came from the sale of special “gold logo tees” at the marina’s Barefoot Bar. All proceeds from the t-shirt sales went to the fund.
