Last night – America’s Grow a Row set a record! With the help of over 60 hard-working volunteers and beautiful weather, they gleaned 15,000 pounds of sweet corn that would have otherwise been plowed under but is now being donated to feed our neighbors in need. It was a truly awesome night.

My grandfather ate four before my grandmother finally told him, “Enough with the cupcakes!” (He found them before we actually ate dinner, mind you).
