🌟 Preserving a Piece of Sioux City History! 🌟

We're excited to announce that thanks to an agreement between MidAmerican Energy and V-Tail LLC, Skip and Cathy Perley are now the proud owners and caretakers of the iconic “Welcome to Sioux City” sign! This beloved landmark, which has been welcoming visitors since 1941, will soon be refurbished and relocated to a prominent spot in Sioux City to continue its legacy for generations to come.

Thanks to MidAmerican Energy for supporting this effort and ensuring the sign’s preservation after so many years, and a HUGE shoutout to Skip Perley, a lifelong Sioux City resident, for taking the initiative to make this project possible! 🙌

The sign will be carefully removed in the coming days, and restoration work will begin shortly. While we're still exploring the perfect new location, we're hopeful for a new home in 2026.

Stay tuned for updates and the exciting next chapter for this historic treasure!
