Highlights of this affordable family fun day:

• Freshly harvested corn, grown locally and prepared hot and buttery, along with other summertime foods. Palm Beach County grows more sweet corn than any other county in the U.S. Local farmers cultivate more than 27,000 acres annually.

• Children’s games, rides and a large corn maze

• Green market, live music and contests in corn shucking and corn eating.

• Live music by the Andrew Morris Band and the Krystal River Band

• National Sweet Corn Eating Championship, presented and sanctioned by the International Federation of Competitive Eaters, Inc. (IFOCE). During this grueling yet quick competition, Major League Eaters from across the country challenge themselves by consuming Florida sweet corn ears for 12 minutes. At last year’s event, Gideon Oji was the grand winner by eating 54 ears. He and the other competitors will attempt to top Carmen Cincotti’s world record of 61.75 ears. The total prize purse is $6,100. 1st - $2,500, 2nd - $1,500, 3rd - $1000, 4th - $600, 5th - $300, 6th - $200.
