It’s here! @herkyonparade has officially begun and is celebrating its 20th anniversary alongside Herky’s 75th birthday. 100 new statues will be displayed from May through August throughout Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, and Solon areas with over 20 of them downtown.

Each Herky was made by a local artist and ICDD is proud to sponsor ‘Herkitron’ in Black Hawk Mini Park in the Ped Mall, designed by artist @drewetienne.

Come explore downtown and snap a photo with @uiowa’s beloved mascot!

@yotopiafroyo’s storefront has received a vibrant makeover with a fresh, colorful awning! This transformation comes as a result of their selection as one of the 2024 recipients of ICDD’s CoSign+ Grant Program, sponsored by @midwestone.

The program is dedicated to enhancing storefronts, encompassing features such as projecting signage, awnings/canopies, take-out windows, window transparency, and lighting. Keep an eye out for more exciting changes in downtown, courtesy of MidWestOne’s backing of our CoSign+ initiative!

And thanks to the help of @agrantho and @drewetienne, their mural got a new coat of paint for a refreshing pop of color!
