Mitchell, South Dakota would not exactly be called a tourist destination in my book, but it was worth a two night stay there to spend our Thursday exploring. We had never seen the “World’s Only Corn Palace”!
It is pretty interesting to see this
convention center’s “corny” mosaic murals!
..... so I took “a few” pictures!
Guess who loves popcorn?!
This is where the “pillow guy” Mike Lindell is holding his rally on May 10. We would have gone to see him but didn’t want to wait! They were preparing for a graduation ceremony when we were there!
“The Corn Palace serves the community as a venue for concerts, sports events, exhibits and other community events. Each year, the Corn Palace is celebrated with a citywide festival, the Corn Palace Festival. Historically it was held at harvest time in September, but recently it has been held at the end of August. Other popular annual events include the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo in July and the Corn Palace Polka Festival in September. It is also home to the Dakota Wesleyan University Tigers and the Mitchell High School Kernels basketball teams.”
Mitchell is a nice town, and looks like it would be a great place to live!
It was a good day. We were going to visit the Dakota Discovery Museum at Dakota Wesleyan University but my heel made it clear that we had walked enough, so I just grabbed a picture of this church on the grounds!
