The 42nd annual Morden Corn and Apple Festival is over for another year and thankfully the weather cooperated for the most part. The lineups for free corn on the cob were long, but if you managed to hang in there, it was definitely worth it.
The car show and shine was also a huge hit, bringing out participants from across Manitoba and the U.S.

By Brian Schultz
This weekend is the 42nd Morden Corn and Apple Festival in … Morden of all places.
The annual event features three days packed with events for the entire family, including the two most popular items that most people come out for. Hot buttered corn on the cob and cold apple cider will be served to attendees free of charge, as always.
There’s also a complete midway and on-stage entertainment, not to mention a pancake breakfast each morning.
The festival begins today and runs until Sunday.
