MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - Corn Palace Director Mark Schilling says
the 2011 Corn Palace Festival and other fall events at the Mitchell
tourist attraction were profitable.
The Corn Palace Festival, two pedal pull events and the polka festival
turned a profit of just over $29,000.
The Corn Palace Festival itself brought in a profit that topped
$15,000, following three consecutive years of losses. Schilling
says the last festival to be as successful was when Willie Nelson
headlined a show here several years ago.
He says the Corn Palace has a good agent who makes promising
acts available to him as long as he's ready to make a quick
decision.
