DeKalb Corn Fest — Attraction in DeKalb Township

Never again! First off with a name like Corn Fest you’d think there’d be lots of corn or difference in the way corn was served…. Two places with Elote and ONE (thank you Boy Scouts) with corn on the cob. That’s it! Second the carnival was out of control and ghetto. Older kids cutting the lines threatening adults (me being one) to “do something about it” when you call them out on cutting in front of you and your child. Horrible security and crowd control. Myself and another lady had to hunt them down the deal with the crowds of punks at the Ring of Fire ride. Third the drinks and beer garden are horrible.

We will NEVER attend the fest again. Oh ya, FREE corn. BIG DEAL. (Corn is one of the cheapest things you can purchase at the store) That's the draw to get people to come?? Then we'll go around and tow people and that will cost them $260. Plus we drove almost an hour to get there.. It's a messed up fest. I want...
