April showers bring May flowers. May Day is this S

April showers bring May flowers. May Day is this Saturday and Downtown has a few activities to get you out of the house!
.
The Mother’s Day Retail Open House is tomorrow! 20+ shops will be having a small celebration in their store. Each location will have a free gift for customers to enjoy. Stop by to see what the gift or special is and see what new arrivals they have this Spring. Take a day to shop around and find the perfect gift for Mother’s Day on May 9th.
.
@uihancher is hosting Dance Into Spring with @balletdesmoines tomorrow at 7:30pm outside on the Hancher Green. In partnership with the event, a number of Downtown restaurants have put together picnics to be picked up and enjoyed during the performance. The event is free to attend but guests are asked to bring their own chairs or blankets while following mask requirements and social distancing practices. Participating Restaurants include: @oasisstreetfood, @yotopiafroyo, @theketokitchen_ia, @burgerhaul_ic, @mickysic, @pullmaniowacity, @wildculturekombucha, @maggiesfarmpizza, and @get_fresh_cafe.
.
All picnics are pre-order by today. Orders must be placed directly with each restaurant and picked up at each restaurant.
.
The Iowa Chess Association will be popping up in the Ped Mall on Saturday at 11:00am. Register online at www.iowa-chess.org to play in the tournament. Raffle prizes will be awarded each round.

Another sign is up downtown! @daydreamscomics, wit

Another sign is up downtown! @daydreamscomics, with the help of @klein.construction, have reinstalled their sign from the CoSign program sponsored by MidWestOneBank. See the sign at their new location (229 E Washington St) and check out what new comics they have in store.
.
Stay tuned to see more signs and storefront enhancements popping up downtown in the next few months.
.
Thanks to @midwestone’s support with ICDD’s CoSign+ program, storefront enhancements and projecting signage will help further craft a creative statement along Downtown’s streetscapes. The goals of CoSign+ are to provide meaningful and original pedestrian-oriented wayfinding enhancements to support improved navigation of the downtown and Northside environments. Because of the support from MidwestOne Bank, ICDD was able to award $35,000 in “match” grants for eligible entities.
