In April of 1994 Mr. Shucks was plucked from the crop to represent the Kernels as their beloved mascot. Now in his 25th season with the Kernels, Mr. Shucks continues to spread joy across Eastern Iowa at fairs, charity events and local elementary schools promoting the Kernels Summer Reading Program. The big corny fella loves making new friends while cheering on the Kernels at Veterans Memorial Stadium so the next time you see him don’t be shy, give him a big high-five!
