Saturday is the big, annual Cowley Corn Cookout. Gonna get in touch with the Rec and find out when the corn shucking starts and lend a hand. This event is HUGE - people come from all the surrounding communities - and many from out-of-state plan a visit home over this weekend - so the park is always busting at the seams. The guy who lives behind us has huge smokers/barbeques and he does a pig, a goat, lamb, and beef. He'll start cooking tomorrow, so I'll gain 10 pounds just living in this house. He gets those trailers (his grills/smokers are on trailers because he pulls them all over, setting up in parking lots, etc, like food trucks) and at 2 am when that delicious aroma drifts into my bedroom window I'm up and finding something to eat - anything - for the rest of the pre dawn hours!! Everyone brings salads and desserts and the town provides the meat, the drinks, the plates and such.....and cauldrons and cauldrons of sweet corn!
They have bouncy houses and water slides for the kids, sack races, horseshoe competitions, the pool is free that day, vollleyball games, and a dance at night to cap the day off - all provided by the Cowley Rec Department. There's a snow-cone vendor, and it always amazes me how many grownups stand in line for one of those! Cowley has 3 of these events each summer. We have the July 4th one hosted by Dave and Jennie, Cowley's Day, and the Cowley Corn Cookout.
I got my t-shirt the first year I helped out.....Cowley Country Club - It's a State of Mind....and I've worn that puppy out!
