When asked if playing last year's inaugural Cornstock festival was the most entertaining thing he's ever done involving corn, Rick Lewis, Fox radio personality and member of a band called the Groove Hawgs, says, "That's a little too personal." But he obviously enjoyed it, since Lewis, broadcast partner Michael Floorwax and the other Groovers are back for year two of the fest, which takes place today. The bill features Runnin Wild, Crusher Bound Cadillac and the Hawgs, who've honed their (pork) chops this summer by "playing every county fair and festival in the area," Lewis notes. "We're the battle-tested corn-dog band."

Anyone else sensing a theme?
