“Solon Strong” Herky is inspired by the hearty community of Solon, Iowa just nine miles up the road from the University of Iowa. Every July, Solon hosts its renowned “Beef Days” festival. Arguably the highlight of the festival, the “Hay Bale Toss” draws competitors from near and far to try their arms at launching a full size hay bale high into the air. Unsurprisingly, more than one University of Iowa lineman has competed for the top prize at this event.
