On Nov. 8, city of Marathon leaders and staff presented local nonprofit Marathon Community Theatre with a $1,257 donation from the city’s annual employee Halloween costume contest. Votes cast throughout the day, with a minimum of $1 per vote, will help the nonprofit theater with ongoing repairs to an aging building. The city selects a new local charity each year as its costume contest donation recipient.
