Corn No Not The Band Whatever Happened To Them Anyway
The Sun Prairie Corn Festival is mostly about people eating hot buttered corn garnished with salt hanging from an umbrella clothesline. There are other things going on too, like munching corn on a grassy hill and checking out the entertainment. This year there was a guy juggling knives while blindfolded (he had peepholes in the front but still). He also did something with golf clubs and a ball, but I was more interested in the corn munchers watching him.
Everyone is thinking, "Corn, corn, corn." ("Packers, corn.") Love the expression on the kid bottom row, to the left. Maybe he has corn stuck in his teeth.
These salt trees are what I remember most as a kid. Yes, it's been around that long.
Some day he'll carry the tote.
Would rather be eating corn
Cheat holes or not, would you want to be in the front row?
Ta da. The guy in the Packers shirt could care less. "Packers, corn, Packers, corn. Beer, curds, Packers. Corn."
You may see this comment twice ...Wow, this corn festival is a new thing for me (can you tell I've never been in the North in summer?) Salt trees is new to me:) You are right, watching the people of the audience is more interesting than the scary knife wielding persons:) Thanks for enlightening us at All Seasons, enjoy the coming week! Now, I need to put corn on my grocery list:):)
Ha, that's what I thought, whether or not this guy can see what he's doing, he's still tossing around knives and I assume he's been eating hot buttered corn too.
It was so hot, Carol, started out the morning waiting in line for solar eclipse glasses that ran out in three minutes, on to dog sitting, walkies, then back to the other side of town for corn fest (way too much walking at that point) and back to little guys again. I'm working up a sweat just typing about it.
I love corn but I have never thought about eating it from an umbrella clothesline. Wow! Your first photo got me. Man, almost everybody has corn in their mouth (while looking away). That is a good one!
Hi Jeanna, I do like a nice bit of hot buttered corn on the cob, with plenty of fresh black pepper. Festivals like this sound like so much fun, who ever thought of it in the first place? The salt tree is bit of genius, how many salt cellar would disappear otherwise? Bet the chaps blades were blunt too, couldn't cut the string of the corn cobs I bet!... As for the video. It did make me smile. Nothing like a good honest corn star to get you smiling!
I don't know where it came from but we went there when I was a kid so it's ancient. I never even thought about people nabbing the salt, I guess I still see a lot of it through a child's eyes. I hope you're right but I'll stay away from the front row nonetheless.

ReplyDeleteHa, that's what I thought, whether or not this guy can see what he's doing, he's still tossing around knives and I assume he's been eating hot buttered corn too.
ReplyDeleteI love to each that fried corn covered with pepper and salt.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a purist, Rajesh, but love it on the grill. It's just salt and butter for me though.
DeleteI linked you to Awww Mondays anyway. This is a great post to start the workweek.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Awww, thanks, Sandee. Believe it or not I'm thinking about getting more corn today.
DeleteSo fun!
ReplyDeleteTasty.
Deleteoh my gosh.....I LOvE corn on the cob! Great post! Very fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm making plans to get a bunch more from the best place I know. Makes summer last a little longer too.
DeleteHmm sounds delicious looked like fun I enjoyed your photos and post :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a corncobtastic week :-)
It's more of a ritual at this point, Stevarino.
Delete...what can I say, you find the funkiest tunes! Corn is one of those great parts of summer. Thanks for showing up, let's do it again.
ReplyDeleteI found a few I liked but thought this was the best tune. Also liked the bit about she loves green and yellow (Packers) at the beginning of the song.
DeleteLooks like a great time and fun photos ~ sweet little boy ^_^
ReplyDelete(A ShutterBug Explores)
ps. Just had a delicious ear of corn at local farmers market ~ ^_^
Ha ha, good for you Carol! I hope to make a final corn trip sometime this week.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by NanaHood, that corn thing looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI remember it being more rowdy with some kind of steak dinner or something by the racetrack but who knows.
DeleteWhat a fun day!
ReplyDeleteI don't turn it into a day anymore, it's almost something I have to do.
DeleteLooks like such a fun day!

DeleteThere are few thins in this world better than hot buttered & salted corn. That is a festival that I could get my teeth in to.
ReplyDeleteHa, many do. My mother can't any get her teeth into corn any more so I'm planning on using a corn stripper to freeze some for her. Corn stripper, ha.
DeleteThat is so cool. I would have loved to attended that festival.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tasty way to end the summer.
DeleteI love corn but I have never thought about eating it from an umbrella clothesline. Wow! Your first photo got me. Man, almost everybody has corn in their mouth (while looking away). That is a good one!
ReplyDeleteYeah they were barely paying attention when he was juggling knives blindfolded a few feet in front of them, haha.
