National Superhero Day is celebrated on April 28th to honor both fictional icons and real-life heroes. The ZPD and ZAHS created a special superhero patch as part of a fundraiser for ZAHS. Zumbrota Police Officers will proudly wear these patches on their uniforms during April in tribute to Zumbrota native C. C. Beck (1910-1989).
Charles Clarence Beck was a cartoonist and comic book artist, best known for his work on Captain Marvel (Today known as Shazam!) The Zumbrota Area Historical Society is selling these patches for $10 (or $11 if shipped).
ALL PROCEEDS go to benefit the Zumbrota Historical Society. The commemorative superhero insignia is available for sale at the Zumbrota History Center located at 55 East 3rd Street, Zumbrota. As well as online at ZumbrotaAreaHistoryCenter.org, the history centers’ Facebook page, or scanning the QR Code. The Zumbrota Area Historical Society is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Or stop by the Police Station Mon – Thurs and ask for Chief Patrick Callahan.
