When I was ten, we left the mean streets of Milwaukee and moved to Sun Prairie, the Sweet Corn Capitol of the World! Also home to Jimmy the Groundhog.
Our Corn Fest in August was always so much fun. I don't think I missed a single one growing up.
When my Mom re-married, her husband was 'Colonel Corn' their mascot. He did that for 21 years. He was also the local Santa Claus and Mom was Mrs. Claus. She and her BFF made his costume and the Santa costumes, too.
