Thank you to everyone who came out for Trick or Tr

Thank you to everyone who came out for Trick or Treats in the Downtown Streets! You sure showed up and filled the streets! It was a pleasure seeing the wide variety of creative costumes and we enjoyed welcoming you into the pop-up shops, handing out candy and serving hot cider from @wilsonsfarmic. After four trips to the store for candy, we determined that Iowa City has a major sweet tooth. 🍭

We appreciate you spending your Halloween with us - now, let’s get ready for the holiday season!
