It was, in fact, a yellowish-brownish-green: a bit of a corn shuck.

But what was a corn shuck doing there?

Summer corn: Shuck the ears, cut off the kernels, freeze on a lined baking sheet and then store.

The buffalo blessing on the Greg Vital farm was just one of the many special events held, as visitors to the site also viewed native Americans performing music, corn shuck dolls were made and other activities took place.

The festival showcases the ways these rural women kept their families going in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with demonstrations that include hearth cooking, soap making, corn shuck crafts and sewing.
