Background:  Why Give to Hoover's Hometown Days? 

Hoover’s Hometown Days in West Branch, Iowa, has been bringing the community together since 1948, when residents first gathered to celebrate President Herbert Hoover’s birthday in his hometown. Over the decades, these celebrations grew into Hooverfest and Hometown Days—events filled with picnics, music, historic reenactments, Hoover-Ball, and free family fun. In 2010, the two events merged to create the festival we know today.
 

From 2010 to 2023, local organizations, City departments, and Hoover partners all helped plan and run different parts of the festival. When the City reduced overall funding and coordination in 2023, a dedicated volunteer committee was formed to ensure the tradition continues. Today, groups like Main Street West Branch, the Lions Club, Kiwanis, school boosters, City departments, and Hoover partners contribute their expertise, while the HHTD committee brings it all together into one cohesive, hometown celebration.
 

Hoover’s Hometown Days thrives because of volunteers, community collaboration, and the generosity of donors. Your support helps keep this cherished tradition alive, celebrating our history, strengthening community ties, and sharing the joy of Hoover’s Hometown Days for generations to come.
