CEDAR FALLS | Overman Park is the earliest documented park acquired by the city, in 1853. The full block of green space is in the heart of the Vintage Home District near downtown, between Second and Third streets. An ornate bandshell crowns the crest of the park’s hill. The Cedar Falls Municipal Band began raising funds for its permanent concert home in 1994. About $250,000 was raised to pay for it. Within two years, the band shell was completed for its inaugural concert June 5, 1996.

Charles Koeleman probably helped save his canyon-top Alvarado Estates neighborhood from burning down during the Fairmount fire on Halloween last year. The entire north-facing canyonside he can see from his back porch across Montezuma Road is completely torched. The day of the fire, Koeleman spotted flames licking up his side of the canyon near a neighbors‚Äô home and rushed to douse it with a hose. ‚ÄúAll of a sudden I saw a little trail of smoke,‚ÄĚ Koeleman said.
