Junior committee grows with the city’s corn festival
Steve Fogarty | The Chronicle-Telegram
Now in its fifth year, the Junior Corn Festival Committee continues to grow, adding more teens to spread the work of preparing for the city’s well-known Corn Festival which takes place Aug. 8 to 10.
Open to residents of North Ridgeville and surrounding communities who are 12 to 17 years old, the Junior Committee assists with events throughout the Corn Festival weekend including the car show, corn-eating contest, and walking around the South Central Park festival grounds in mascot costumes.
Anyone interested in checking the committee out is asked to attend a 6 p.m. meeting July 29 at the South Central Park pavilions.
Applications are available at the North Ridgeville Corn Festival Web site at www.nrcornfest.org.
To learn more, call committee co-chairs Tom Dake II or Kate Gesicki at (440) 324-9313.
