Vinton, Iowa has a corn fixation. It's all about the corn. Corn is the lifeblood of Vinton, and the Vinton Guild Of Fine Arts undertook a project to commemorate the importance of corn in 2015 with the creation of twenty uniquely painted large fiberglass ears of corn that have since been placed on concrete pedestals in and around the community.
They are all well done and a great slice of Americana. I took pics of about half of them.
