Kind of CORNY but ...

We just had to stop by the "World's Only Corn Palace".

The Corn Palace is the largest tourist attraction in Mitchell South Dakota, boasting 1/2 million visitors a year. That, of course, would include visitors like us, town hall meetings, the annual Corn festival (we just missed it by 2 days) and high school basketball games. They really proud of their basketball team - the "Kernels".

I'm not trying to be funny - just a bit corny.

The outside of the building covered in murals made using Corn Cobs, Corn Silk, Corn shucks and local grasses. They use 250,000 Corn cobs cut in half to make the murals.

I actually had heard about the Corn Palace on an episode of West Wing years ago.

Another roadside attraction. It was a nice little stretch our legs diversion. We discovered a new art form and we walked away with a bag of popcorn.

Just being silly with My Lovely. It was a long drive day and it gave us a smile.Okumaya devam et
