Corn- Venience Ribbon Cutting
Darlington Downtown Revitalization Association held a ribbon cutting ceremony December 16 to officially welcome a unique new business to the community. Corn-Venience is an automated seed corn dispenser designed to help deer and hog hunters purchase corn by the bushel quickly and easily, giving them more time to enjoy the great outdoors. Inventor Alan Hubbard, a hunter himself, crafted the Corn-Venience from a corn wagon into a money maker at his home shop and found an ideal location in the Corner Connection parking lot at 101 Society Hill Road in Darlington. After just a few months, the Corn-Venience wagon is already on its third load of corn, and will continue to serve the hunting community for the remainder of deer season and beyond.
