The final numbers arent in, but organizers believe attendance is up from 2016.

Organizers are declaring the Tecumseh Corn Festival a success.

The 42nd annual festival wrapped up at Bert Lacasse Park in Tecumseh on Sunday.

Thousands of people flock to the town every year for food, drink, and entertainment.

Festival Chair David Lozinsky told AM800 News the final numbers aren't in, but preliminary estimates indicate attendance is up from 2016

Lozinsky says the festival is a fixture in the community.

"This has been an intricate part of the Tecumseh area and it's part of it's fabric." Lozinsky says, "That's why people, we believe, always look forward to coming."

He attributes this year's crowds to adding attractions to suit every part of the county, "We've had a lot of seniors, we tailored to them with Elvis and senior bingo's and things of that nature. So all these have combined to make it, from our view, completely successful."

At the end of the day, Lozinsky says Mother Nature made sure no one had an excuse to stay home.

"The weather has been outstanding we couldn't ask for better weather. Not too hot, not too cold."

Lozinsky says final attendance numbers won't we in until later in the week.
