General Info

We made it through another year.

By

The tents are put away.  The bands have packed up and gone on to their next gig.  All the corn has been eaten. The grounds have cleaned up.  The carnival has moved on to another town.  The vendors have loaded up their wares.

Thanks to all for making this one of the best CornFest seasons ever.

We came…..  We saw……  We ate…..

We’re done……..

I’m toast……..

Thanks to all the Volunteers

By

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 Fabulous Cookie Decorating Contest

By

Always a hit on Sundays at CornFest is the Cookie Decorating Contest.  Kids [of all ages] put on their creative chef-hats and deliver colorful corn cookies. And they looked great.  How great?  We almost had to call in extra security so those lacking “will-power” didn’t eat the contestants cookies.  Now that’s one good cookie!

Here are three of our “Cookie Champions”.

Big smiles all around.  Oh, and the cookies not only looked good, they tasted fabulous!

And here are some shots of the “Field of Cookies”.  Remember, if you decorate them , they will come.

Cornfest Raffle Winners

By

The  ballgames are over.  The pullers have pulled out.  All the corn has been eaten.  And personally, I’m so full I simply could not eat another pork-chop sandwich.  Hey, but we are not done yet!  Bringing  Cornfest to a close is the much-anticipated auction and raffle.  The crowd was enthusiastic.  The bidding was fierce.    And all the winners had huge smiles on their faces.

 

 

Here are the winners from the Darien Cornfest raffle:

Congratulations to all the winners.  And please support all those companies that contributed.  Check out their website and most importantly visit their stores and help support the local economy.
