Below is information from our past Valentine's Day celebrations:
Valentine's Day is synonymous with Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) -- so much so that February 14th is often referred to as "Emmett Lee Dickinson's Day."
Nothing says "Be my Valentine" like a juicy cob of corn!
