Attendees for all ages will explore how corn suitable for popping was cultivated thousands of years ago, how it later became popular at fairs, movie theaters, and homes across the United States. Plus, learn about how advances in agriculture and food science helped shape today’s popcorn varieties, connecting history, culture, and nutrition in a fun and accessible way.
