Thank You for making the
47th Annual Buttered Corn Days
on August 22 - 23, 2008
a huge success!
The weather was perfect, the crowds were plentiful and 6.8 tons of corn was eaten on Friday!
Saturday's Grand Parade was one of the best ever. All 92 units added something special to the weekend.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported Buttered Corn Days - from the visitors to the volunteers,
from the sponsors and the committee - it was awesome! THANK YOU!!!!
