KornFesting

 Holmen started celebrating KornFest  50 years ago when a cannery would donate free corn to celebrate the corn harvest. Well today even the cannery is long gone, thousands of ears of corn are charcoal grilled for KornFest but it is sold for $1/ear. Still a great bargain considering the buttered that is lathered upon it...

One holds the hot corn by the husk and if you choose, it is butter brushed / you can also stop off at a salt station.

We visited the corn station two days in a row this year.  Once we had to wait in line but today we beat the rush and there was no line.

Here Natureman shows you how a pro does it. I personally think it's good enough without the salt but I have to admit I didn't get a chance to try it without the butter...

If you look at the sidewalk pic on the right, do you see those spots? Those are not water spots but extra butter from those cobs. People love their butter.

The challenge is to find a spot in the shade and chow down...

Nothing beats fresh grilled corn unless it's corn from the End of the Rainbow Valley garden/ or if it's locally homebaked pies. I had raspberry and Natureman had blueberry . Yum...
I love small town celebrations and that includes KornFest!

Until next summer...
and to 50 more years of Holmen's
KornFest!
