After 20 years of service, we say goodbye to The Tent. Nearly 100 shows, thousands of performances, and tens of thousands of patrons have been through this tent. It’s the end of one era and the beginning of another.

We are saving pieces of the tent and if you’re interested in taking home a piece of history, let us know in the comments. We will have the Corn Stock logo put on them and perhaps have some in shadow boxes.

If you’re able to donate to the New Tent Fund, we would be very grateful! You can donate here: https://chuffed.org/project/cst-raise-the-tent
