Another great Corn & Apple in the books

Date:

The Corn & Apple Festival packed the streets of Morden for three days of festival fun, including free corn on the cob and apple cider, talented street performers, one of the largest parades in the province, art and craft stations for the kiddos, a car show Sunday afternoon in Morden Park, and a Saturday evening main stage lineup that included Canadian rockers 54-40.

The Morden Elks serving up some BBQ; volunteers hard at work at the corn cooking station; fun on the midway; performers in the Alice in Kerneland musical at the Youth Stage; petting zoo cuddles;  flea market in the Legion hall—a new feature for the festival this year.
