Herky is on the move.
The 101 Herky statues scattered across the area will say goodbye next week as the third edition of Herky on Parade comes to a close.
Each statue will be gathered and cleaned throughout the week in preparation for a public showcase during FRYFest on Friday, Aug. 30 in the Iowa River Landing .
“The memories that families make while visiting all of the Herkys will last a lifetime,” Think Iowa City President Josh Schamberger said. “We are so proud of the collaboration our cities, schools, county, sponsors, and the University of Iowa have with our artists to make this as great as it can be.”
The statues were unveiled and placed throughout Johnson County on May 1. Different variations include the Ninja Turtles, Caitlin Clark, Transformers, Willy Wonka and Homer Simpson.
