Sweet Corn Day 2006
HP Community Action Association
June 15, 2006 meeting of our Sweet Corn
Day Committee. There were many other meetings.
July 15, 9 am. Lots of action in front of the hardware store.
It's just a coincidence that the beer tent was the first one up.
1 pm. All the tents were
erected (by the North High football players) and 6th Avenue was closed.
4 pm. The Kens were ready to
rock and roll on our Sweet Corn Day.
5 pm. Band in back checking
their instruments. Crowds still arriving.
No need to call in the clowns,
they're already here.
KIOA-FM broadcast during the event
and gave us all a chance to win this classic '78 Corvette.
These two young ladies from KIOA-FM Assisted Tim White who also MCed our
Sweet Corn Day.
Even younger celebrants showed up to eat corn.
The Highland Park Little League sold tickets to dunk a North High
cheerleader.
And there were plenty of
cheerleaders around. They also bussed tables.
The crowd starts to gather.
And the Blues Book Band hit the
stage with their amps cranking.
Just in case we got a couple notches
past rowdy.
For some strange reason, kids like
to get their faces painted.
Northridge Baptist Church hosted a
mini-carnival at the north end of our Sweet Corn Day.
A couple people mentioned something
about the heat.
This guy also thought it was too
hot.
But most people did not even notice
the heat. They were enjoying the cool Blues Book Band.
Of course the carbonated beverage
sellers were quite busy.
And the carbonated beverage
consumers were whooping it up.
Some sort of cookie sale going on
here.
Here's one of the nomadic tent
builders keeping on trucking.
On the other side of the road, they were consuming mass quantities of
Sweet Corn.
And the smiling staff did their best
to stuff everyone.
Which they did very successfully.
And they just kept eating that corn,
barbecue sandwich, watermelon, and ice tea.
The line slowed as the evening wound
down.
Technically, the festivities officially ended at 9:30. They did not.
