Funds from the campaign will be used to expand the festival with new signage, banners, sound systems, a temporary stage and talent costs.
The corn dog festival is entering its fourth year in September 2025 and will feature contests such as a wiener dog costument competition and new inaugural Corn Dog King contest.
Since the CreatINg Places program began in 2016, projects have raised more than $12.5 million in crowdgranting funds and an additional $10.6 million in matching IHCDA funds. The program is available to projects located in Indiana communities. Non-profit entities (with 501c3 or 501c4 status) and local units of government are eligible to apply. Eligible projects must have a minimum total development cost of $10,000, where the recipient will receive $5,000 in IHCDA matching funds should it successfully raise $5,000 through Patronicity. IHCDA will provide matching grant funds up to $50,000 per project.
