{Summer Fun # 48}

{Eat Corn on the Cob}

This was the third year that all, or some part, of our family has attended the Adel Sweet Corn Festival. Last year Ryan was in a disillusion state and depressed because his wife and daughter were in England. To help cope with his loneliness Ryan decided he would go to the festival and hoard 13 ears of corn. And yes . . . he at every single one of them.



Since he holds the record between his friends he didn't feel the need to eat so many this year and settled with a healthy five ears of corn ;) We learned this year that they truck in a whopping 7 tons of corn for everyone to enjoy. That my friends, is a lot of corn. I made sure to come fully prepared with my floss so we didn't all walk around with residual pieces of corn in our teeth. Hate that.




People line up with big, bigger, and enormously large bowls and coolers to fill up. We actually joined in on the fun and brought our very own family corn "bucket" to fill. It was much better to carry than those flimsy paper plates :) I for one would like to know how many gallons of butter they go through. Good thing it's zero calories ;)
