Fun being corny
July 22, 2009
Pack up the kids -- and lots of toothpicks -- and make the roughly two-hour drive to Downstate Mendota for the 62nd annual Sweet Corn Festival, Aug. 6-9. The free fest features lots of family-friendly activities, from parades and pageants to live music, carnival rides and countless kernels of buttery corn; sweetcornfestival.com.
