As a way to help promote reading and exercise, the

As a way to help promote reading and exercise, the StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT. It was developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library. The Iowa City Downtown District is excited to introduce this new event for the community to enjoy this Spring and get outside. The Downtown Iowa City StoryWalk® has begun and will be up through the month of April.
.
The Northside Neighborhood book features "Some Dinosaurs are Small," written by Charlotte Voake, with 12 stops. The route is approximately 1 mile long and should take about 30 minutes to complete. Participating locations will have the book open and displayed in their front windows so attendees can safely read the pages from outside. The book was selected by local bookstore, @prairielightsbooks, where it is available for purchase.
.
Print off the StoryWalk® map or pick up your copy at the @iowacitypubliclibrary. Follow the route to read the book in order and bring a pen or pencil to write down the missing word or clue from the pages. Turn in your completed card at the end for a chance to win a copy of the book!

March 31 marks the end of Downtown's Women's Month

March 31 marks the end of Downtown's Women's Month features and we couldn't be more proud to end our campaign on a special note with a special group of influential women.
.
The Downtown Women of Impact today, March 31st is Iowa Women's Basketball Coach Lisa Bluder, her coaching staff, and the entire @iowawbb team. As trailblazers in leading by example, with integrity and no excuses, conquering adversity with grace, and demonstrating what it means to represent women in collaboration and community, this team has inspired us during a year when it meant more than most. While their NCAA Tournament dance to the Sweet 16 allowed us to connect downtown and enjoy their run, we truly celebrate Coach Bluder's approach and development of a positive work life culture and her golden touch on the Iowa City community. The Iowa Women's Basketball team is motivated, team-driven, hard working, and joyful.
.
Congratulations Team!
.
These 31 featured days of inspiring women were nominated by peers, employers, employees, and friends.

The Downtown Woman of Impact for March 29th is Susan Felker. Susan is a long-time Downtown patron turned business owner that left the UI Tippie College of Business to open a retail store during the height of the pandemic. For those that know her, it makes perfect sense that her intellectual acuity, highly researched business plan, tenacity, passion, and work ethic has led to the opening of one of Downtown's best new retail environments in the Prairie Kitchen Store. Susan and her family have strengthened downtown with their addition and she graciously shares her journey with those seeking a similar retail path. She is sharp, studious, and caters to the love of cooking around a well set table with friends.
.
Congratulations Susan!
