Every year, we have a Corn Palace Festival. It used to be a week long, the last week in September. Now it is 4 days in August.
Back in the day it was a celebration of the corn harvest. Now it is more of a carnival celebration. Shown are photos of some carnival games. I will post a video of some rides later.

Here is a short video of part of the carnival midway. https://youtu.be/GQCf3i97dJc

Orderly looking spectators. Colourful sights.

Not so much colour here. Apostle bird.

Hi Rich. The local Chamber of Commerce should be paying you handsomely for how well you have documented, over the years, the appeal of the city.

Hi MFI. Maybe not much color on the Apostle bird, but your photo is well lit and has ideal sharpness and detail. A very impressive photo.

Agree wth Dave's comment about offering the images to the local shire.

Thanks Dave for your comment on the Apostle bird.

Thanks Dave and Peter for the nice comments!

Peter, well exposed and composed. An interesting bird!

They are rather unique among birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostlebird
