This post documents my experience on September 12, 2015.
I arrived in South Vienna and found parking on a country road…
…later walking through this clearing…
…and finding myself at the South Vienna Corn Festival.
One area of the Corn Festival was dedicated to vendors…
…selling Amish furniture (Buckeye Woodcraft), wooden sculptures (Roots)…
…art…
…crafts…
…cowboy hats…
…produce…
…sports team stuff…
…and pepper spray fun (Damsel in Defense).
There were a lot of vendor booths…
…and they were sometimes found in pockets…
…around corners…
…or fit under two large tents.
Beyond the vendors…
…and the street markings of corn…
…there was an area with a great variety of food from chicken and noodles to pizza…
…ice cream and coffee…
…some super popular pork chops…
…and one corn booth…
…just to remind people why they came.
Apart from a tractor show…
…an entertainment stage…
…and a playground…
…the carnival filled the final area of the festival…
…offering more food, plenty of rides…
…and such games as Ring-A-Knife…
…where the sound of those rings was hypnotic.
