This is one of Colorado's iconic events, full of hometown "Mayberry" wholesomeness. Generations of families have come out to the Corn Roast Festival; what do they have planned for the 2023 event?

Yes, the fun event is centered around corn, but really it's about community. Getting the community together to celebrate summer, to see one another, and to really have some fun.

The pandemic isn't so far in the rearview mirror that we've forgotten how so many of these things all went away, for a while.
