Cornfest would not be what it is without the hard work of its volunteers. They’re the first to come and the last to leave [as Jackson Browne sang about] working long hours with no pay [except maybe and ear of corn and a walking taco]. So let us all give a giant THANK YOU to all those who helped make the 2012 CornFest a terrific time.
52 and still poppin’ Baby!

The Tri-County Pullers were at CornFest again this year and the action was loud and exciting [Like you expected anything less?]. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the teams and pullers brought down the house! Great competition ruled the day and the roar of the pullers and the crowd could be heard through-out the Cornfest grounds. Be sure to add the pullers onto your schedule at next year’s festivities. You will not be disappointed.

Last year we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Darien CornFest. As we head into our next fifty years, we are proud to announce that this years theme is titled “Simply EAR-ressistible”. Hope that you don’t find it too corny. [Sorry for the bad pun, buy it is obvious that I have not a kernel of self-respect] Opps, I did it again, but I’m not trying to butter you up.
