2010 El Paso Corn Festival

Please forward any theme ideas you have for next year's festival to any of the committee members. Plans are underway for 2010 !!!

The El Paso Corn Festival will be held on September 9th, 10th, and 11th  2010  in downtown El Paso Illinois.  If you haven't been to our festival before, you are in for a real treat.  We have free entertainment every night along with a huge Carnival and approximately 60 vendors in our tents.  Come by on Saturday morning for one of the best parades in Central Illinois with over 100 entries every year.

Arm Bands will once again be on sale for unlimited rides at the Carnival for Thursday and Friday nights.  Armbands are good for either Thursday or Friday evening from 6 - 10 pm. Prices this year are $14.00 in advance and $16.00 at the Carnival.  They can be purchased at any of the following local merchants: 

Busherts Shops of Westgate

City Hall

Heartland Bank (both locations)

Flanagan State Bank

No one goes away hungry if they come to our festival.  Between the Carnival food, food in the tents, and the three dinners served in the library park each night there are plenty of options for lunch, dinner, and everything else.  On Thursday night we have the local Fireman's Steak Fry, Friday night is the Kiwanis Spaghetti dinner, and on Saturday it is the Baptist Church Chicken dinner.  In the tents we always have Uncle Bob's ice cream, the Lutheran booth with more fresh pies than you can imagine, and the local Boy Scouts cooking up pork chops all day and night!
