In lieu of the popular festival which in the past 42 years has brought thousands to downtown DeKalb for the three-day corn and music family affair, organizers have developed a creative way to raise funds for this year's recipient, Opportunity House.

Each year, Corn Fest selects a local nonprofit to donate raise money for, and this year they'll raise money by selling special T-shirts, donating 100% of t-shirt proceeds to Opportunity House.

The nonprofit will also serve as the 2021 recipient when the festival returns. Sales for the 50/50 raffle will also take place for next year's festival at local outlets this year. For more information, visit www.cornfest.com.
