EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is part of a series commemorating the 100th anniversary of the current Corn Palace building, which opened in 1921.
Damaged by economic turmoil, low commodity prices, drought and dust storms, the Great Depression impacted Mitchell and South Dakota far and wide in the 1930s.
That included the Corn Palace Festival, which by that point was becoming a 40-year tradition. The insight of that could be seen in a 1933 first-person submission to The Daily Republic from Wallace MacLean, who was the chairman of the Corn Palace Entertainment Committee that year.
