Marceline, MO - Citizen, as the partner in Time, donated Disney / Citizen Mickey Mouse Clocks to the Walt Disney Elementary, Father McCartan School, Marceline High School and Early Learning Center in Marceline on March 16, 2023.  This momentous occasion kicks off a year-long partnership with the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, inclusive of a celebration event honoring Walt Disney’s Hometown in June of 2023.

Each classroom was gifted one clock with a student representative from each classroom accepting the donation during a morning assembly.  In addition, special guest influencers @TwinSauce provided entertainment during the assembly.  Pictured left to right at the City Hall presentation:  Samantha Barker, Robert Goldberg, Councilwoman Shelly Milford, and Mayor Sallie Buck.

In addition, Citizen has donated clocks to the following organizations in Marceline:

  • Marceline City Hall

  • Walt Disney Post Office

  • Marceline Fire Department

  • Marceline Police Department

  • Chamber of Commerce

  • Downtown Marceline Foundation

  • Marceline Carnagie Library

  • Walt Disney Hometown Museum.

It has been announced that the Walt Disney’s Marceline event will be held on June 3, 2023, hosted by the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, celebrating the importance of the City of Marceline to the history of Walt Disney himself and his ever-growing dreams of creating magic for adults and kids for years to come. More details on this event is forthcoming.   

Knowing Marceline was the inspiration behind the initial concept of Disneyland Park ® and Main Street USA, brings an even bigger importance to celebrating where the magic began for Walt.  Honoring his most influential hometown as a child, connecting his magic to the magic we now get to experience is the perfect way to honor 100 Years of the Walt Disney Company.
