the Corn Palace by ric Gustafson
The Corn Palace in Mitchell South Dakota was built in 1892. It was built so settlers could display the fruits of their harvest. Artists have created colorful murals on the outside walls using corn of different varieties and color. The time came to nudge the attraction into the 21st century.
The fiber glass onion domes have been replaced by airy steel versions. A new marquee, larger corn murals and a walk out balcony have been added outside. The biggest improvement has been new LED lightning that plays around the building. The Corn Palace is a landmark in this town of about 15,000 that hosts concerts, high school and college basketball games and other entertainment.
