[quote]DeKALB - The city's annual Corn Fest is moving in 2008 to make way for anticipated downtown construction.

Corn Fest officials are working with the city, park district and others to find the best place to relocate the three-day festival that brings as many as 100,000 people downtown. When ReNew DeKalb released the Downtown DeKalb Revitalization Plan in the fall, Corn Fest board members started talking about the possibility of moving.

Read some of these comments by these small-town folk. It's no wonder why this town is such a mess and Sycamore has passed DeKalb up and is continually doing so:

Agreed, and like there isn't any drunken adults/townies. NIU and its students were here before Corn Fest and all the families who live here right now.
