This fest just keeps getting bigger, but the star is still cob after cob of fresh steamed sweet corn, available to devour by the ear — or buy a tote (8-13 ears) to share with your corn-loving pals. Trust us, it’s the way to go. (Note, corn is available Saturday noon-7 p.m. and Sunday noon- 6 p.m. only.) Wednesday night starts with a parade at 6 p.m.; Friday night features SuperTuesday; Saturday night it’s the Kings of Radio. And Saturday there’s a corn eating contest at 2:30 p.m. See details below and updates at sunprairiecornfest.com.
