I know, you're dying to hear about our visit to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. Sadly, you won't get much from me. It was an impromptu stop made after the Palace had closed for the day. Thank goodness for our AAA guidebook though, otherwise we wouldn't have even known it was around.The Corn Palace helped us reach three kitschy Americana landmarks (Roswell and Carhenge being the first two) during our road trip. Much to my husband's disappointment (he truly felt cheated), the entire building is not made of corn. The exterior is decorated yearly using all parts of corn and must be a better use of the plant then high fructose corn syrup.
As far as I can tell, the theme of this year's mural was to showcase the palace "throughout the ages". How a sailboat and pictures of man on a segway "show" the theme, I have no idea. It was pretty awesome though and I'm sure GOB Bluth would've been proud.
