Community Church holds 63rd annual Cornfest and Craft Fair
Community Church of Rolling Meadows held its 63rd annual Cornfest and Craft Fair Saturday.
The main attraction was all-you-can-eat sweet corn, grown locally and picked just hours before being boiled and smothered in butter.
A tradition since 1957, this popular event is a source of community fellowship each August. The event included a craft fair with handmade items from local artisans and other vendors, as well as kids' activities, a raffle and live music.
