I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Back for its 75th year, the Mendota Sweet Corn Festival in Illinois is set to make your summertime a bit corny and a ton of fun. This event involves music, entertainment, a craft fair, a flea market, a parade, a beer garden, carnival rides, and, as you may have already guessed, lots and lots of corn! This is definitely an only-in-Illinois type of event that you must go to this summer.
