The Corn Palace

We attended the Corn Festival next to the Corn Palace. It is a week long event...amusement rides, booths, and lots of food. The Corn Palace is a community center, high school gym, concert hall, etc. for the city. They were having a concert in relation to the Corn Festival (Blake Shelton was singing inside when we walked up). We don't know much about him, but recognized a couple of his country songs (we are not big into country music). The front of the Palace is made from a variety of corn husks and corn by-products...or something like that. The work and creative ability of the artists who work on this display is obvious (hopefully this will show in the photos - it was already dark when we arrived). I wouldn't recommend making this stop unless you need a break from the road, and even then, don't plan more than 30 minutes or so for the stop. The Palace is just about 5 minutes from I-90...so it is a quick diversion. Pam, we need to talk. :-)
I don't think there is much along the highway tomorrow...but we never know what this journey may bring to us. If we find something cool, you will read about it. Nite~ Carol and Ken
