4th ANNUAL SWEET CORN DAY ON AUGUST 1ST

To celebrate Sweet Corn Appreciation Day, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie is hosting an event on August 1st. Leader McCombie passed legislation in 2022 to make August 1st the official Sweet Corn Appreciation Day in Illinois and this year's event marks the 4th annual celebration.

"Sweet Corn Day is a celebration of community, connection, and the simple joy of sharing good food with the people we care about," said McCombie. "Sweet corn holds a special place in our hearts and on our tables, and reaching the fourth annual Sweet Corn Day is a meaningful milestone that reflects the enthusiasm that continues to grow around this event: it keeps getting bigger and better."

All are welcome. The event will feature bounce houses, face painting, and, of course, sweet corn.

The date, time, and location for the Fourth Annual Sweet Corn Day are as follows:
