Sweetcorn Festival report

Day by day report:

  • Thursday night – Tractor pull I, not real good, attendence in the park wasn’t all that good either.
  • Friday night – Tractor pull II, a little better, much bigger crowd in the park. I had a deep fried Snickers bar, which was suprisingly good. (“Remember, if you rub it on paper and it turns clear, it’s your window to weight gain!“) After the pull was over, I, umm, had a few beers, went out with the parade route painting crew, and didn’t get home until after 4:30 am.
  • Saturday – After the late night, I was pretty much worthless until 5:30 pm or so. After Demo Derby I, we hung out in the beer tent listening to the tunes of XKrush and people-watching the crowd.
  • Sunday – After the standard brunch with the grandparents, I worked at Corn on the Cob, feeding ears into the husker. After 4 straight hours of doing that, time for Demo Derby II. There was another derby at Earl Park, IN, so the number of entries was down considerably.
  • Monday – Started at corn early in the morning, husking before 11 am to try to stay ahead of the rush when we started serving at noon. We husked , cooked and served the entire 8 tons of corn that was delivered that morning.

I’ll try to get thumbnails of the few pictures I took up soon.

And a parting thought: “Git ‘er dun” is not english.
