The annual New York Mills Corn Feed, a community-wide event celebrating the upcoming harvest, takes place Friday, August 13.
Sponsored by the New York Mills Civic & Commerce Association, the Corn Feed is 4-7 p.m. at the Central Park shelter.
The sweet corn is picked fresh Friday morning and a full pick-up load is hauled to town, where volunteers gather at noon to shuck in time for the feed's start at 4 p.m. Volunteers are still needed to help shuck Friday afternoon.
Along with free corn for everybody, food vendors will be selling a variety of goods in Central Park.
Kids activities include a bounce house, 3-7 p.m., in the park, Free Swim Day at the Legried Community Pool from 1-5 p.m., and carwash by the New York Mills Fire Department from 4-7 p.m.
