(KNZA)--A Hiawatha High School student is planning the 1st annual Antique Corn Picking and Shelling Day this weekend.
Nathan Wright will hold the event Sunday afternoon 1 to 5 at the Brown County Historical Society's Ag Museum located at 301 East Iowa Street, in Hiawatha.
The event will feature equipment from the Ag Museum and local farmers.
Wright's inspiration came after taking part in a corn picking event in Jewell, Kansas last fall with his uncle.
He received approval from the Hiawatha City Commission in February to use an 8-acre parcel of city-owned property adjacent to the Ag Museum to plant corn. The city approved a lease agreement with the Historical Society for the property at an annual payment of one dollar per year.
Its part of Wright's FFA Supervised Agricultural Experience project.
The public is encouraged to attend.
