CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – The 2024 Houby Days festival is just under a month away, and this year it’s bringing in a familiar face to lead the parade.
Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball player, and former Washington High School star, Hannah Stuelke will be the Grand Marshal.
The parade starts at 10 a.m. on May 18.
If parades aren’t your thing, Houby Days has something for just about everyone. See the full schedule of events here.
It kicks off on May 17 of next month in Czech Village.
The Iowa Hawkeyes will face off against the South Carolina Gamecocks in the NCAA women’s championship game on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
The undefeated Gamecocks maintained a healthy lead in their earlier game against NC State tonight, paving the way for them to end the season 38-0 if they can secure the trophy Sunday.
And the Hawkeyes battled it out against UConn in a nail-biter that came down to the final milliseconds. Ultimately, all-time scorer Caitlin Clark — with plenty of help from Hannah Stuelke — led her team to the ultimate stage.
If you’re looking for some more Final Four fun, tune into the men’s games tomorrow night, which will be at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
After the game Stuelke praised her teammates, who she said “did a great job getting me the ball.” “Caitlin here, she’s a great passer,” she said.
Clark said Iowa got off to a good start in the fourth quarter, “came up with some big baskets” and played “great offense.”
“Sometimes that’s just what you need to win, my teammates stepped up and did a really good job, made some great baskets when we needed it,” she said.
