And now for the roadside attraction that we promised Sam would be unbelievable. He still can't believe it. Let the corn jokes begin!
The last time I was in Mitchell it looked like this. I did not remember it at all.
The corncob dude was not very perky. Must not have been pollinated yet. Yes, probably the worst mascot job in the United States.
Of course we had to do this! The little NIBLET (sorry Sam) wouldn't, of course. We appreciate the humiliation he suffered to take this picture.
Darren and I both remembered that the murals went all the way around. Not so, since the City Hall looked pretty old. We couldn't convince Sam to stick around for the Corn Movie, even though you could have popcorn or other assorted corn or corn syrup snacks while watching it. We wandered the largest corn themed gift shop anywhere. Who knew you could get that many different kinds of corn cob salt and pepper shakers and don't get me started on the collectable thimbles.
At this point Sam was shaking from friend and video game withdrawal, so we grabbed a terrible latte at a coffee house about a block from the palace and headed for home. Mission accomplished. Sam's first long road trip. Good times.
