The Grundy County Corn Festival is just around the corner, and the first button of the festival’s 76th year has been sold to Morris Mayor Chris Brown.
Buttons cost $2 and are available at many local stores. These buttons serve as a fundraiser for the festival, and they’re good for admission into all Corn Festival events.
Each button is numbered and gives the holder a chance to win one of eight prizes.
Numbers are drawn after Corn Festival has ended.
Corn Festival takes place Wednesday, Sept. 25 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 29.
