Osceola is famous for their 4th of July celebration. From the carnival atmosphere to one of the biggest parades and fireworks shows in south-central Iowa, the celebration put on by the Osceola 4th of July Committee is second to none. And over the past few years, the heart that’s been put into the celebration has been boosted with the blessing of 5-year old Jovee Blakely, Osceola’s youngest and likely most passionate philanthropist.
On Sunday afternoon, KCCI TV-8’s Marcus McIntosh traveled to Osceola just to see all the hubub over young Jovee’s lemonade stand.
