Waukon Corn Days crowns 2016 royalty ...

The eight young ladies pictured above were vying for three separate Miss Corn Days crowns in their respective age categories during the annual Waukon Corn Days event held Friday through Sunday, August 19-21 in Waukon. Pictured above, left to right, are Madelyn Marti, Grace Solberg, Gabrielle Marti, Junior Miss Corn Days 2016 Marin Marti, Miss Corn Days 2016 Mariah Hancock, Little Miss Corn Days 2016 Olivia Marti, Elizabeth McQuade and Taylor Wohlfeil. Despite rainy weather forcing cancellation of the parade and relocation of many of this year's Corn Days activities inside to the Allamakee County Fairground Pavilion Friday and Waukon Wellness Center Saturday from downtown Waukon and the Waukon City Park, a good crowd was still in attendance to take part in the wide variety of activities offered during the annual celebration.
