Corn aficionados in Darien this weekend
Extra points to you if you make it to both the Wine Festival in Lake Geneva and the Darien Corn Fest.
I'm thinking there won't be many cross-overs, but maybe I'm wrong.
In any case, both events have plenty to offer.
A Corn Fest schedule is at the end of the full post, link below.
The cornfest parade is Sunday at 1 p.m. The official Web site is HERE.
The Lake Geneva Wine Festival site is HERE.
