Olive Festival celebrates city’s mascot

There was something for everyone and anyone to enjoy during the 23rd annual Olive Festival, which culminated on Saturday at Woodson City Park with day-long activities. The festival’s fun began earlier in August with the crowning of 2012 Miss Corning Catlin Ochs, followed by the Missing Olive Contest, giving Corning’s Sherlockians a chance to sleuth the city. This year’s winners, Shelly and Monica White, found the hidden wooden olive in record time, awarding them $150.
