We really love our corn! July 16, 2004.
It’s been a few years since it was moved up, but it still feels very wrong to have Corn Carnival in June. (Especially this year, being the fourth of five Fridays.) Tonight is the big parade in Gladbrook, and it’s an election year, so candidates and surrogates will be plentiful at all levels of government.
Tama County government has had some particularly patriotic names in office, including former auditor John Adams and former supervisor Patrick Henry.
With a name like that, how can you lose? Also July 16, 2004.
The only hangup seems to be that Gladbrook’s city website domain name has lapsed. The pages from Matchstick Marvels still work, but gladbrookiowa.com has been captured by a foreign domain squatter.
