A Prairie Home Corn-panion!

Today's Corny post is brought to you by fellow Corn Palace enthusiast Cody J. Schuler!

It seems that on May 7, 2005 A Prairie Home Companion did their show from the World's Only Corn Palace! It started off with a song about Mitchell and had many references to the Mighty Palace of Corn throughout the show, so it's well worth a listen.

2011 Corn Trek!

Here's some of the pictures I took of the latest in-corn-ation of the Corn Palace on our Spring 2011 trek home.

We start with a pic of the front of the mighty palace itself, and the mascot of this year's trip: Stick Stickly.

Next, we see the seldom-photographed back of the Corn Palace

Here's the back corner. You can see the dome in the background.

This is a picture of the middle of the basketball court floor in the gut of the Corn Palace.


Here's a shot of the sticker, label things you see on all of the city vehicles.

You see these on the bottom of almost all of the streetlights downtown.

And finally my favorite picture of the bunch.
