For those of you that haven't been to Ankeny in awhile, you will be amazed how we are growing.  The population has grown by over 90% in the last fifteen years to over 36,000 residents.  We now have two zip codes and the school board is currently wrestling with adding another high school.    Plan to spend some time driving around the city as you will find homes in areas that were rural thirty years ago.

Visit the SummerFest web site from our link on this page.  It will give you all the information about our annual summer festival that many will remember as "Fun and Feed Days".  There will be the parade, carnival and many other opportunities for you to enjoy your stay with your family.
