One of the best of the slowly-dawning-horror works Stephen King ever published is called “Children of the (Schemitzun Feast of Green) Corn.”

What happens is, a bickering couple is lost and —

Hold on!

OK, my editor is telling me I’m incorrectly (and dangerously) thinking about a short story called “Children of the Corn” that has NOTHING to do with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s Schemitzun Feast of Green Corn and Dance. In fact, Schemitzun is a terrific annual harvest festival taking place on the tribe’s Cultural Grounds Saturday and Sunday.

The event features the Grand Entry, music, the multi-tribal Green Corn Dance competition, arts and crafts booths, workshops, the Eastern Village Woodlands Exhibit and a variety of opportunities to sample and learn how to make indigenous food and drinks. There are plenty of fun activities for kiddos, too.

Oh, and take note that there’s no on-site parking at Schemitzun. A free event shuttle departs every 30 minutes from the Fox Tower Hotel Loop, Grand Pequot Tower Hotel Loop, and Great Cedar Hotel Bus Loop. Handicap pickup is available from the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center.

Schemitzun, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Sat. and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sun., Mashantucket; admission $15 ages 13-54; $10 ages 55 and up, military, ages 6-12; free for kids 5 and under; no parking on-site; see shuttle stops listed above; schemitzun.com.
