Huxley's Prairie Days had Hairball scheduled as the main event last year. I think rain cancelled that?

I have some land near Strawberry Point,IA and they have Strawberry Days every year.
They give away free strawberries and ice cream.
I doubt anyone else in the state does that.

Hah! Forgot about that one....one of my friends met his wife at Strawberry Days.

Celebration, FL (the town built by Disney to be "perfect"). Even the power lines are held on towers that are shaped like Mickey Mouse ears.

And we shouldn't overlook Britt's Hobo Days!

 

[BuffettClone]

Story City, IA has Scandinavian days and Roland, IA has Roland Days

And we shouldn't overlook Britt's Hobo Days!

I live just over 20 miles from Britt so I thought I would give it a try last year. Pretty disappointing. They had a good band perform on Sat. night. Unfortunately not many people showed up.

Runnells has Razzle Dazzle Days

 

[bugs4cy]

Dike also has Watermelon Days.

The only thing that could have made my teenage years more complete would have been being named the Dike Watermelon Queen but alas, they do not crown royalty at this event.

How has Britt Hobo Days not been mentioned (unless I missed it)??

Britt, Iowa

Which town has a raspberry festival?

I think Webster City has a raspberry festival?
:unsure:

 

[Cy4Lifer]

Cedar Rapids has the Kolach Festival, usually in June at St. Ludmilla's Church on the SW side. Also, down on 16th Avenue in CR, they have Houby (spelling?) Days, which I believe is the Bohemian word for "mushroom".

Yumm to both of these!

Bratwurst Days - Stacyville

Czech Days - Protivin

Turkey Days - Grafton

All of these contributed to some severe hangovers in high school.

I agree, I remember going when I was younger and it being a lot of fun (I.e., hobos hanging out, etc.) I went back a couple years ago and it seemed like the place was dead, except for the bars (red rooster I think was still there, or whatever its called now)

Nordic Fest in Decorah is tough to beat IMO.

Boone Pufferbilly Days, Ogden Fun Days, Adel Sweet Corn Festival

Lake Mills - July Jubilee (ending today - the 4-6 inches of rain yesterday morning did not help).

Where I live now...first time the parade and festivities have been cancelled in 30 years!
Sucked yesterday - pretty much had to drink the day away...LOL

 

[IAStubborn]

It's a catholic church on the NW side, so depending on where you were...might not have heard of it, but it is kind of a big deal.

St Jude's Church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Thats not a town festival.
