Wanted to share some great comments from a recent visitor:
“Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to visit your lovely town of Corning! I have to honest that I had considered the thought of not attending our Western Iowa Tourism Region meeting. The main reason is the price of gas and the wear and tear on my rapidly aging car. Oh and the fact that I would have to get up 2 hrs early enough to participate in the “Progressive Breakfast” that volunteers in your town had set up for us. WELL, I have to tell you what a great surprise I had in store for me there!
My first and foremost interest as the Johnny Carson Birthplace Home, when I walked in, the volunteers were fairly busy with others who had arrived before me but they made room for me as well! Wow, what an absolute icon there! Then I proceeded to the Icarian Museum, the Corning Center for the Fine Arts and the Corning Opera House! Oh, my, my, I was totally impressed with them all.
The hospitality was exceptional and the food melted right down to my hips! On a personal note the Opera house is a gem of all gems! How excited you must be to have such a place to rebuild and share with others! I do realize that it will take many dollars and much volunteer time ahead for this to be “showcased”. But when it is all said and done it will fit right in with the other beautiful buildings and the hospitality your town has that is so rare these days!
And the room (and food) that our meeting was in, the Turner room, oh how nice!
I even stopped at the General Dollar store for some needed items and they were equally welcoming! No doubt in my mind that I will be sharing my experience with your town for days/months to come!
Thank you for a wonderful day!”
