🌽🍦 Have you ever tried CORN ice cream? 🍦🌽

Stop by the 4-H Food Stand at the Cottonwood County Fair on Thursday, August 6 and give this unique Minnesota favorite a try!

The Cottonwood County Corn & Soybean Growers are proud to sponsor the corn ice cream during the tonights chicken dinner. Whether you’re a longtime fan or tasting it for the first time, it’s a fun way to celebrate Minnesota agriculture and the farmers who grow it.

We hope to see you at the fair!
