Letter to the Editor: Keep up the Corn Days Spirit

To the Editor:
I am a bit late in getting around to writing this but I would like to echo the sentiments that Jim Magner expressed in a letter printed a couple weeks ago. Bravo to everyone involved in this year’s Corn Days celebration.  It was great to see something happening in town, it was great to see people from all around town enjoying themselves, and it was great to see people from other towns coming to Waukon.  
My schedule did not allow me to attend all of the festivities but I enjoyed the events I could and I felt as if I was really missing out on something when I could not. The 5K walk/run Saturday morning is a breathtaking way to start the day and get people into town and the car show was a great place to refuel on ice cream and curds.
All the experience gained this year by expanding to a thee-day festival should pay off as time goes on and we should all be looking out for more opportunities to make something fun happen right here in town.
