The Community Club sponsors the annual town
festival, Bratwurst Daze, each July. This is a cooperative effort of
all the citizens of Stacyville and surrounding area. It is the primary
source of the Community Club’s operating revenue.
The profits are used for
the betterment of the community--for example, the recent purchases of
playground equipment for the City Park and the Community Bulletin Board
located on Broad Street. The club also each year gives grants to local
organizations that show a need.
Other projects include
the annual community-wide garage sales in the spring and Santa's visit to
