That’s hilarious!
I would say ‘weird’! and of course ‘corny’! Have a great Wednesday.
This is one I have to go when I’m back down that way! Too funny.
it’s really “corn-y” but on the positive side:)… and it’s certainly a “giant” corn field… i just wish they’re real… i’ll go there to harvest one

The Rocky Mountain Retreat’s last blog post..Alpine Mountain Lake- Sky Watch
I don’t know what to say about it either. Except it’s weird and awesome. And I love it!
[...] week you saw that Ohio has a BIG corn field. Well, they also have some big baskets in the Buckeye [...]
Isnt’ that great?! We’ve come to love our funky “Field of Corn with Osage Orange Trees” in Dublin, Ohio! It’s most definitely a local landmark. It was created by Columbus artist Malcolm Cochran in 1994–and is part of the Dublin Arts Council’s Art-in-Public-Places series. It includes 109 ears of “human size” concrete corn (all between 5 and 6 ft tall). It’s gained national attention from tourists, visitors and media (think “Food Channel!”) It’s even been the site of a wedding or two.
As I mentioned, there is a series of these works … so, if you like this one, be sure to come back and touch the face of a local legend–when you visit the 12 ft. high limestone tribute to local legend “Leatherlips” (among others). By the way, Historic Dublin is home to our Visitor Center–with plenty of free brochures, maps, and info on fun local things to do. (Don’t miss “Shawan Falls” in warmer weather. Pack a picnic lunch with the kids and take in the magnficient view of the water falls.) To learn more, visit http://www.IrishisanAttitude.com! Thanks for visiting Dublin, Ohio!

Mary, thank you for the history of the corn field and suggestions for more to do in Dublin. We hope to return someday!
