- End Date: 10/18/2022
Drought in the vicinity of Mitchell reduced production of the dozen colors of corn used to decorate the Corn Palace so the murals will be left in the circus theme until next year. For lack of corn, the 2023 mural theme dubbed “Famous South Dakotans” will be pushed back to 2024. Corn ears were about 33% smaller than usual, and some corn did not pollinate at all this year.
