The 42nd annual Adel Sweet Corn Festival opened with a 9:30 a.m. parade Saturday, and by 11 a.m. the grounds around the county courthouse were dense with corn-loving suburbanites, basking in the sun and waiting to fill their plates.

Some 10 tons of sweet corn were consumed by the early afternoon, organizers said.

Along with the Sweet Corn parade, the day-full of activities included a car show, 5K run, games on the lawns and street vendors lining the town square, with the evening bringing music by the Sons of Gladys Kravitz band.

The annual event is sponsored by the Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce and is called a birthday party for the city of Adel.
