Memorial Day weekend thousands will pour into the tiny town of Zellwood to stroll the arts & crafts exhibits, listen to great entertainment, and enjoy all the sweet corn they can eat. This is great outdoor family fun — there is something for everyone. While Mom browses through the Arts & Crafts the kids can enjoy the amusement rides. There's even a car and bike show for Dad!
Of course, everyone loves watching "Big Bertha" at work. She can cook 1,650 ears of corn every nine minutes in 350 gallons of boiling water. That's a lot of corn!
Entertainment will announced at a later date.
