Anita is a grand small town in southwest Iowa. Known as "A Whale of a Town," Anita proudly thrives, thanks to its active local community and its commitment to the future. We're thrilled to be planning our 150th-Year Celebration for 2025 during our Annual Steak Fry Weekend. Learn more below.
VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORS NEEDED
The big 150th celebration is only one year away! Volunteers are needed now to help with fundraising and planning celebration activities. Please consider becoming a sponsor, giving a donation, or volunteering your time at an event or activity. If everyone gives just one hour of time, we can make a great celebration of Anita’s 150th birthday.
