Old Cornstalk Festival barn being moved Thursday
(Regal MN-) The barn that was converted into a stage for the Corn Stalk festivals at the old County Line Bar in Regal is being moved today. KNSI Radio says the barn owners, Scott and Becky Mueller, plan to move the 93-year-old barn across Highway 55 and onto 140 acres the couple bought across Highway 55 from where the barn stood since 1991. The trip covers about a quarter mile on Highway 55, then another quarter mile on a gravel road that was built last week because the field was too bumpy for the barn to cross. Footings were poured Wednesday. The barn will sit on them through the winter, and the restoration could start this winter or wait until spring. Eventually, the Muellers want to ressurrect Cornstalk Fest.
