(KORN Radio)- It’s slow going for the 2019 murals on the Corn Palace in Mitchell.
Mayor Bob Everson says most of the student labor has gone back to school and the recent rodeo event required the attention of the staff that’s usually putting up the colored corn.
The theme for 2019 is “A Salute to the Military” and right now the mayor is calling for reinforcements….
There’s a deadline looming as a mural dedication ceremony is set for Friday, Oct. 26. Special invited guests include crew members from the USS South Dakota attack submarine, representatives of the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial, plus the Adjutant General of the South Dakota National Guard as well as members and veterans from all branches of the military.
