is Corn Belt country and we like to celebrate each year with
CORNfest. Bring out
your inner Hoosier at the Corniest Party of the Year! Indiana is
the 4th largest corn producing state, and almost half the crop
land in Indiana is used to grow our phenomenal corn. What better
way to show our farmers some support than to eat, drink, and be
merry with Indiana corn!
