The annual Corn Festival was once again held in the Village of Swanton. The event was held on Saturday, August 10th, and saw a huge amount of support expressed from members of the public.
This support came from their showing up, and boy did that happen. Friday saw an alumni softball game at 6:00 p.m., along with an all-class reunion and party in the park from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
On Saturday, a huge amount of people came and lined Main Street for a parade that lasted around 50 minutes. This was made possible by the large number of local businesses, organizations, and schools that attended the parade this year.
A huge amount of people also turned out for festivities being held down at the park. This area featured a number of activities including a volleyball tournament, a 5K fun run, car show, chicken BBQ, kid’s inflatables, live music, and much more.
The day was packed full of fun-filled items for families to take part in. The event comes every year but always manages to leave a positive and long-lasting mark on the village, leaving many waiting to experience it all over again next year.
