Woodbury County Old Town Fall Fest


In the mood for fall fun? You won't want to miss 2nd Annual Old Town Fall Fest in Moville, Iowa this weekend, Saturday September 23rd from 10am-3pm.

One of Woodbury County's best kept secrets is Old Town at the Woodbury County Fairgrounds in Moville, Iowa (keep going about 10 minutes past Menards on 20 East, then turn left at the sign for the fairgounds, towards the water tower!). Aside from its use as the kids zone for the fair, Old Town doesn't get much love. But it should. Old Town is a collection of buildings from the oldest days of pioneer settlement in Woodbury County, including a school, bank, jail, church, and train station. My 8 year old actually said his favorite part of the fair was exploring Old Town. And this year is the second annual Fall Festival in Old Town!

Little Chicago Deli is coming back to Sioux City!

Sioux City's newest eatery isn't actually new--it's just the newest iteration of a classic! Little Chicago Deli is opening in a new location just a couple doors down from the original restaurant, and they're opening on Friday May 31, 2024, for pickup orders and delivery, with the dining lobby opening later in summer 2024. Here's the info we have so far on Sioux City's new Little Chicago Deli: History of Little Chicago Deli Little Chicago Deli has been around Sioux City since 1988 as a locally owned sandwich shop, but unfortunately the previous location closed in 2017.

But new owners, including some staff from the old Little Chicago Deli, are bringing it back in 2024! The name pays homage to local legends about Sioux City during Prohibition.
