There will also be fun for children with hayrides, an inflatable corn maze, and a petting zoo (Saturday only). Don’t miss out on the corn-eating contests either.
What better way to end Saturday night than with a fireworks show over Lake Dora. Don’t miss it at 9:15 p.m.!
Even better? With every paid admission, you get to take home two ears of Zellwood sweet corn!
