Manchester’s First Annual River Days Deemed Success

Manchester hosted its first-ever River Days over the weekend.

The event kicked off Thursday night with “Music on the Maquoketa” and wrapped up on Saturday night with a street dance – with a 5K, food trucks, contests and kids’ activities and fun on the river in between.

Chamber Board President Kurt Heims says it seemed to be a success.

The Friday Night Farmer’s Market also had a record night, with around four hundred people attending. Organizer Jeff Ogden with the Hughes Memorial Trust says they served 650 sandwiches, 320 pieces of rhubarb pie and 575 cups of ice cream.

The Chamber is hoping to make Manchester River Days an annual event.
