Did you happen to attend the Beacon Sloop Club Corn Festival last Sunday? With frozen water bottles in tow, our family sauntered down to the riverfront to see what all the hub-bub was about!
Right by the Beacon train station we found an outdoor party full of fun. Earthy live music, assorted sandwiches, hot dishes, desserts, fresh produce and just a huge variety of delectable treats to eat.
Talented musicians sent out strong and positive messages about caring for our planet, politics and the joy of living. Folks sat back and tapped their feet, bobbed their heads and just enjoyed the talented performers. From apples to barbecued spare ribs, the food was sold with a smile!
Plenty of wholesome dishes to choose from, but since we had already had lunch, we just went for a few cobs of corn and some fabulous corn bread. The line for these goodies was one of the longest!
The sun was super hot - as was the pot used to cook up all that corn - but the crowd was upbeat regardless. We’re so glad to have attended and after browsing through the farmers market, we ALL headed home for naps!
The weather, thankfully, was much cooler for my 7pm walk that night! If there's a Sloop Corn Festival next year, we hope to get in line and catch a ride on the Woody Guthrie!
