OPTIONAL
Since this event will be hosted by The River Maze, it would be great to feature corn in our delicious offerings! Consider featuring corn in at least one of your menu items for the day (if you don’t already), and we’ll let the festival goers decide their favorite, in a “Voter’s Choice” Competion. Votes will be taken throughout the festival grounds and the winner will be announced during the festival and on our website.
Some example menu items include:
Grilled sweet corn, corn nuggets, corn chowder, cream corn, corn fritters, corn dogs, chili pie (chili served over corn chips), tacos with corn chips/shells/tortillas, corn salsa, corn casserole, corn starch chicken
wings, gourmet popcorn, kettle corn, cornbread, hushpuppies, etc.
Please indicate any corn themed, feature items in your description/menu to be submied with your application. In order to ensure a variety, the TTT committee will be monitoring these featured menu items on a first come, first served basis. Please, be assured that we will confirm these featured items in a timely manner.
