Our last stop in South Dakota was a visit to the Corn Palace in Mitchell. Each year, a new mural made completely of corn (cobs, stocks, silks) is created on this building for the Corn Festival in August. When we stopped, the workers were applying various colors of corn cobs cut in half lengthwise to create this years mural. Parts of the mural were complete including a "corn-likeness" of Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, the Space Needle in Seattle, and a Shuttle Launch.
This type of place is definitely for me! ~ Alison
