The Sweet Corn Blues Festival held in Normal each year will continue - despite the drought.

There'd been some concern earlier this season that dry conditions would mean a shortage of sweet corn for the sweet corn fest, but organizers say that isn't the case.

Uptown Marketing Manager Joe Tulley the sweet corn sold at the festival comes from Del Monte in Mendota. Tulley says Del Monte irrigates its crops and the festival will have plenty of corn.

In fact, he says organizers are hoping for another record year. Last year, they sold 21 tons of corn.

The Sweet Corn Blues Festival is Aug. 25-26.
