Happy Autumn 2009! The weather has changed significantly, and the jackets are out again! Corn Crib Catering welcomes you to check out our newly completed outdoor fire pit, perfect for a group to congregate and enjoy the wonderful crisp evening in the country. Check out the new pics in our updated photo gallery (October 4, 2009).
Wishing you all the best for the Holidays and the New Year- from all of us at Corn Crib Catering (December 21, 2008).
The tang of fall is in the air, and the signs of autumn are all around: the apple trees, having taken last year off due to a late frost, are bursting with fruit; the soybeans have started to turn, and all of a sudden we notice how early the sun sinks low (watch out when going west on those east-west roads!). We hope you all enjoy the cool, crisp weather, the beautiful vistas, and of course the fruits of the harvest that make up an Iowa fall! (September 15, 2008)
We've all been busy with summer doings - among other news, Corn Crib Catering recently catered a special Friday 4th of July event at Snus Hill Winery. A perfect Iowa summer evening, good wine, friends, and a chance to try out a new commercial barbecue grill (hamburgers and brats). See pictures in our photo gallery.
We want to wish a very Happy New Year to all! And we want to extend a special THANK YOU to all of our customers and friends who have made 2007 such an exciting and rewarding year for all of us at Corn Crib Catering. It is our sincere honor and pleasure to serve you! (January 1, 2008)

Hometown Kitchen Classics becomes Corn Crib Catering! Yes, we are changing our name but not our commitment to quality and service! Why the name change? Well, if you've visited us you know right away that the new name suits us to a "T"! We literally do cater from a corn crib, and we love it! So do the folks who visit us for a dinner, a business meeting or a family get-together. We hope to see you soon as well. And watch for changes to the web site to accomodate our new name.
