Corn Festival buttons go on sale in preparation for 2024 Grundy County Corn Festival

Grundy County Corn Festival Board President John Sparrow and board members Cindie Hunt and Jim Maskel have kicked off the festival’s 75th year with the sale of the first button to Morris Mayor Chris Brown.

Buttons cost $2 and are available at many local merchants. Buttons are a fundraiser for the festival, and grant admission into all Corn Festival events. Each button is numbered and provides the holder a chance to win one of eight prizes. Winners will be drawn after the festival.

The Grundy County Corn Festival runs from Wednesday, Sept. 25, to Sunday, Sept. 29 in Morris. For information, visit cornfestival.org or call 815-942-2676.
