HOLLAND â Young Miss Five Hills Emily Kimball took the deepest breath possible, reared her shoulders back and thrust the kernel of corn out of her mouth in the Holland Corn Festival junior corn seed spitting contest. The seed of corn flew 12 feet, 10 inches, securing the first-place trophy from the dozens of competitors that entered.
Teen Miss Five Hills Angelica Torres dunked her head and shoulders all the way into the livestock bucket filled with water and came up with a corn cob in her mouth in less than 10 seconds, winning her first place in her preliminary round of competition and second place overall in the corn cob bobbing contest.
