Annual Sweet Corn Feed – July 30

The Des Moines Ikes’ 51st Annual Sweet Corn Feed is Friday, July 30th.  Serving will be from 4 PM to 8 PM.

Everyone is invited and everyone is welcome, so invite or bring your family, friends and/or neighbors.  They will enjoy all the delicious sweet corn they can eat, plus ¼ lb. Polish sausage, home grown tomatoes, potato salad, watermelon and ice tea, lemonade or coffee and all of this for only $6 for adults and $3 for children under 10.

And, as in past years, volunteers will be needed to shuck corn and help with the serving.  If interested in having some fun and camaraderie see Larry Clark for starting times etc.
