Come to Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment this weekend, July 19th and 20th, to have a corntastic time! Plenty of Jersey-fresh corn will be available to eat, husk and carry as guests compete in contests between the harness races. First race each night is 7:15pm.
A free ear of grilled Jersey corn will be available to all guests, all weekend. On Friday night guests can join the Corn Carrying Contest (after Race 2) and the Corn Husking Contest (after Race 4). Winners of each contest will receive a $100 betting voucher. On Saturday night both contests will take place again as well as the Corn Eating Contest (after Race 8) in which 10 randomly chosen participants will chow down on as much corn as they can in 3 minutes. The first place winner receives $500, followed by $250 for second place and $100 for third place. Guests can sign up at the Promotions Table for each contest and they will all take place in the Backyard/East Apron.
