Corn Palace

Friday August 20th - we headed to Mitchell SD (6.5 hours, 450 miles) to visit the Worlds Only Corn Palace.  We took a tour, which included a gallery of the original artwork by Calvin Shultz, who was a local art teacher that designed for the palace for 25 years.  The outside designs are updated in the fall of each year.  It takes about 3-4 months to complete.  Last year the designs weren't changed due to the pandemic.  The designs inside the palace are only changed every 15 years.
