Corn School is all set to make its return to the streets of LaGrange this October.
LaGrange Clerk-Treasurer Laurie Miller announced at Tuesday nightâs LaGrange town board meeting that she has received all the permits required by the state to once again block off a blocks-long section of Detroit Street through downtown LaGrange to host the annual fall street festival. This year, Corn School will kick off on Tuesday, Oct. 5, and run through Saturday, Oct 9.
Corn School President Sue Glick said there was never any doubt.
Last year, officials canceled the festival due to public safety concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. However, that prompted a slew of comments on various Facebook pages claiming the street festival would never take place in downtown LaGrange because the state would never again allow the town to shut down that section of S.R. 9 through LaGrange.
