Activities: |
Look for the historic bandstand on the square for
a "Car Smash" sponsored by the East Pike Fire Protection District. For a
donation to the fire department, participants get to pound, beat and smash an
old car with a sledge hammer!!! Youngsters can pick out a free pumpkin or gourd
and enjoy searching through gallons of shelled corn in the "corn box" for a toy
prize. The Welcome Booth is always
located in the bandstand in Milton. This year, we are celebrating Milton's
175th Birthday as well as the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Milton
Corn Carnival. In the bandstand, there will be a display of old Milton pictures,
Milton and East Pike school yearbooks and Corn Carnival memorabilia.
Retro-style East Pike Panthers t-shirts will also be for sale. |
