Who wants some sweet corn?
The 18th annual Sweet Corn Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 11, at St. Cyprian’s Church in Franklin.
The event offers food, activities, large silent auction, arts/crafts vendors, live entertainment, and more. The auction items are from 70 businesses, organizations and individuals, including great dining in Franklin, Highlands, Cherokee and Clayton, Georgia, golfing at Mill Creek, river rafting, zip lining, horseback riding, beautiful jewelry and artwork, casino package, theater, gifts and home decor.
The Nantahala Hiking Club will be at the festival again this year, and anyone up for a short, easy walk on the tranquil trail in the woods at St. Cyprian’s can check in at the hiking club’s tent. The outdoor stage will be occupied with entertainers throughout the day. The lineup includes the Nikwasi Dulcimer Players, Dave Stewart and Gary Zimmerman, Tom Johnson, Bob Blanton, Men Macon Music, and others.
The festival is sponsored by All Saints Episcopal Church, which has two historic church buildings: St. Agnes on Main Street, and St. Cyprian’s on Roller Mill Road. Proceeds benefit All Saints outreach and CareNet.
