Fun at the Corn Palace.

Well, I admit that I've always thought of and referred to the Corn Palace as one of the dumbest tourist traps ever. But, I actually went and looked around a bit in there today. Actually, I'm going to back up further than that. After church today, I went to lunch and was sitting at Perkins, and thought I saw my parents old 1991 Buick that my Uncle Paul has been driving recently in the Kmart Parking lot. I couldn't figure out why it would be there, but didn't think much of it. I went and looked closer, and sure enough, it was theirs. I was intrigued, but didn't have my phone at the time, so I returned home. After being home for not more than 10 minutes, there was a knock at my door. I went and found my aunt Rhonda and Uncle Paul in my aunt's new car there. They were taking Aunt Rhonda's mom to the Corn Palace, and wanted to know if I would come along. Well, as it turned out, the car had been brought down by Uncle Paul, and he and his wife and mother in law had been eating in Perkins at the same time, and we never saw each other.

So we're off to the Corn Palace.

I've played basketball there, and they turn that whole arena into a shop selling memorabilia. Here were some of the great quotes from the tshirts or aprons in this store.

"I see stupid people." - (Which my Mitchell friends would appreciate!!)
"Men like to barbeque. (Men will cook if Danger is involved)."
"Chocolate makes clothing shrink"
"Skinny cooks can't be trusted."
"My house was clean last week. I'm sorry you missed it"

I laughed hard at some others that won't make this blog, but it was way more fun then I thought I'd have ever thought was possible at the Corn Palace for a non-sporting event.
