TRADIIIITION TRADITION!!!!!

As I would suspect I could not go another year without the yearly Corn Night. For those of you that don't have a clue what I am talking about I will try to explain but as expected when trying to describe tradition many things get lost in translation. Yearly, the Jager family, will gather to pick corn, husk corn, cook corn, remove cooked corn from cob, place removed corn into baggies which are distributed to all those who want. The purpose of this is to be able to have access to corn all times of year and it is the BEST corn ever.
It has been at least 11 years since I have been been involved with this process, I have however reaped the benefits since every year when I come home I am able to gobble up the yummy Jager corn. During my annual Russ' visit we received an SOS call to help with the process. This was the last thing I wanted to do, but I feared my relatives may withhold the corn since I have not participated for years. Yes they are a loving and kind group but they will revoke my corn rights.

As you can see Child Labor Laws don't apply. Sam and Lilly working hard..

Autumn is the new CornGirl...

They let this crazy guy out to perform manual labor....

Don't worry Pudge you are not the only gee who loves the Jager Corn..
