How IB Crow Became the Indiana Beach Mascot

Our mascot IB Crow made his first appearance in 1985 as part of a new campaign and a slogan that is now a part of the IB Crow’s image. His slogan was; “There is more than corn in Indiana.” From this cartoon bird with the large beak and sporting a red and white striped outfit, he has been associated with Indiana Beach and its advertising ever since he became the official spokesman. While over the years IB Crow may have changed since his first appearance, he has taken over as a winner when it comes to advertising Indiana Beach. IB has brought more visitors to Lake Shafer than we had ever seen prior to his first appearance.
  
IB Crow and his slogan about Indiana Beach helped to make this lake paradise a well known vacation spot to Indiana vacationers. Not only would he become well known in Indiana, but in the surrounding states of Illinois, Ohio and Michigan; also bringing these out of state visitors to Lake Shafer for vacation. With IB Crow as our spokesman, we had more visitors to Indiana Beach than ever before and more visitors meant that more attractions could be built. 
 
With IB Crow’s popularity and the advertising campaigns he has been in, he has helped to make Indiana Beach the paradise family vacation spot that it is today. IB Crow is now much a part of Indiana Beach as any of our other attractions. Should he no longer be a part of Indiana Beach advertising he would be sorely missed by our loyal visitors. As you can see he is proudly displayed throughout our website pages to guide you through them to help you plan your Indiana vacation.
