Have you ever wanted to go to Disneyland and at the same time learn more about agriculture (and eat it too!)? If yes, the soon-to-be-unveiled Cornucopia just outside of Montezuma should pique your Iowan interests.
The park will feature all things corn, including (but not limited to): corn on the cob, candy corn, corn syrup, corn dogs, and corn cider for adults. There will also be a Dairy Park, where kids can swim in the Milky Way pool, milk a real cow, craft butter sculptures alongside professional butter artisans, and bob for marshmallows in freshly made cottage cheese.
Rides, games and other attractions will include a corn maze, baby formula racing, macaroni and cheese rapids, the “Silo of Terror” and kettle corn bingo.
A central gift shop will satisfy any corn or dairy enthusiast’s taste in quality knick-knacks. (Cornucopia accepts MasterCard, Visa and Discover cards.)
Park guests can also watch the Dairy Queen and Kernel King make nightly appearances outside of Cornucopia’s most extravagant building, Cob Castle, underneath a spectacular fireworks display using real popcorn.
Due to the unseasonably warm weather, work has gone more quickly than anticipated and will be open for enjoyment this summer.
Delectable corn milkshakes will be offered on the house all evening long during the nighttime celebrations on the park’s opening on July 27, 2012. Park officials hope that Cornucopia will grow on Montezuma residents and will sow the seeds for more corn- and dairy-related amusement parks in the future.
April Fools!
This is the April Fools edition of the Montezuma Blue and White! None of the stories in this edition are to be taken seriously. Sit back and
enjoy!
