The event allowed people to tour downtown McHenry's shops and restaurants for craft beer samplings from local breweries, appetizers and other treats.

Kiera Confections, cupcake bakery and ice cream shop, located on 1114 N. Green St. in Downtown McHenry, announced Monday it will be closing after 10 years of business.

The owner, Kim Loewe, announced the news on Facebook "with a “heavy heart.”

“We did everything in our power to try and remain open during these uncertain economic times,” she said.

Kiera Confections served community organizations, including the McHenry Downtown Business Association, the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation and the McHenry Events Committee.

“We will miss seeing you all in the day to day and participating in community events such as the Summer and Fall Tastes, Shamrocks the Fox, Celebration of the Arts and The Human Race,” Loewe said. “We thank you all so very much for your support and dedication throughout the years. We have loved sharing our dream with you. From our family to yours, much love and gratitude.”
