Cherokee Iowa knows how to have fun. Great place to live in the state of Iowa.

I am doing another blog post on Cherokee Iowa. I received a very nice e-mail from Penny Pingrey who is with the Cherokee Area Economic Development Corporation on my earlier blog on the town of Cherokee. Penny asked if I would be interested in doing another blog with this year's events. Cherokee's Chamber of Commerce also has a new director Julie Hering-Kent.

As I stated in my earlier blog Cherokee Iowa is one of my favorite towns. It lies east of Sioux City about 65 miles. The first time I drove through Cherokee heading north I though it a quaint little town. The downtown is done nicely and reminds me of a time gone by. There are nice little shops up and down the main street.

One event coming up this month is the Cherokee Rodeo being held May 28, 29, and 30^th. Some of the events during the Rodeo are a parade, train robbery, western bbq and Chamber coffee. In June some of the events include, tractor ride, Music Festival, and Cherokee Chamber Street dance. There are many more events during the summer and throughout the years. One event that music lovers will like is the Jazz and Blues Festival usually held in January. To view the Chamber of Commerce website for these events and others, click here.

There are many activities to keep you busy in Cherokee, such as: Country Club Golf Course, Little League, Municipal Pool, Cherokee Clippers Swim Team, Hershey Youth Track and Field Meet, Outdoor Fun Fair, Indoor Volleyball, Basketball league, Future Braves Flag Football, Adult Slow Pitch Softball, Bowling, and Archery.

There is something for everyone in Cherokee, a great town in a great state. Cherokee is a town where it is safe to let your children run around, and a great place to raise a family.
