Cornfest '08
Well, I tried to put it off most of the weekend, but I finally took the kids to Cornfest. We missed the big corn give away yesterday and by the time we got there after church, it was almost over. This year they moved it to the airport since there is some construction downtown.
We got there in time to watch a B-17 bomber take off. It had been flying over our house all weekend (you can't miss the noise...made me wonder what it would have been like to have a squadron of them fly over your town in WW II. I would be pretty terrified!) and it was pretty impressive up close. We walked over to the midway and walked through most of the booths. All the same vendors were there as last year. When it is downtown it feel like you are a part of something. At the airport it felt pretty lame (Emily agreed with this observation!).
The main stage was much larger then usual and Travis Tritt was preforming when we were there (I would have never know if it wasn't for the fact I needed to go the the Cornfest website to steal the above graphic!) We then went to the midway and dropped $20 for the four of them to ride one ride. They were upset that I didn't have more money but got over it fast when they found that the bouncy things were free.
One hour later, we were on our way home. They are supposed to do it again next year at the airport again because of construction. I hope they bring it back downtown after that. Community festivals are supposed to be in the community.
