Sun Prairie Corn Festival










On Saturday Jim and I took the kids to the Sun Prairie Corn Festival. We heard much talk about the sweet corn there and we thought that maybe we should try it. The kids enjoyed watching tractors bring in huge loads of corn and then watch the people unload it with large snow shovels. This festival is known for their steamed (with the husks on) sweet corn. You had the option of buying 1 ear for $2 or a tote of corn for $6. We opted for the tote and got 11 ears of corn! After I took the steaming, hot husks off and buttered and salted the corn, the kids were so excited that they could eat a bunch of corn. Almost a little too excited. The corn was really good and that is what we ate for dinner that night. The kids also had fun riding some carnival rides and playing for an hour on an inflatable obstacle course. We had a great family night there and we look forward to going next year!
