CHECK PRESENTATION – It’s the giving season and the Scandinavia Corn Roast is “over the moon” thrilled to donate $5,692.50 to the Scandinavia Volunteer Fire Department! We appreciate all they do for our community and the greatest festival in the Midwest! These guys do so much to keep the Corn Roast organized and safe – directing traffic when needed, setting up all the fencing, and even volunteering at the gates! Thank you, firefighters, for all that you do for us! – Photo courtesy Scandinavia Corn Roast
