WEST POINT SWEET CORN FESTIVAL 2010 - The sweet corn for the West Point Sweet Corn Festival typically comes from Southern Wisconsin or Northern Illinois. Since warmer temperatures will accelerate maturity, we usually do not know exactly where we will get the corn from until a few days or maybe a day before the shuck date. Typically the sweet corn will come from a different source every year.

There are two types of corn, sugar enhanced and super sweet. Most always we get super sweet. It makes the best festival corn. In 2010 the corn came from Northern Illinois.

In 2010 there were about 2500 ears per ton and we typically bring in up to 18 ton. That is 45,000 ears of free sweet corn. In 2009 all the shucking was completed in about 1 hour 15 minutes. That is about 600 ears per minute. In 2010 we exceeded 700 ears per minute.

Although not official, it is a widely known fact that West Point, Iowa holds the record for the fastest shucking festival town.

Various local businesses truck the corn, cool and store the corn, provide food and drink for the shuckers and lastly, local people set up, husk and clean up afterwards. It is a true community event.  

The Piano Men is a musical celebration of the 1970’s- year by year, hit by hit- from the songbooks of Billy Joel and Elton John. Award winning Canadian recording artist Jim Witter and his incredible band lead an expertly crafted tour of an entire decade that begins with “Your Song” and winds us along on a musical time machine, saluting two of the century’s most popular contemporary songwriters. Utilizing spectacular visuals on a giant screen behind Witter and his band, we return to the newspaper headlines, the automobiles, the people, the events, the toys and even the TV shows that shaped a decade. Along the way, the sounds of “My Life”, “Candle in the Wind”, “Rocket Man”, “Just the Way You Are”, and many more classic hits create an evening that’s so much fun, you won’t want it to end.

Porchstock is a music event that showcases local musicians and brings the community together.
