Popcorn Company connection to Odebolt


From the Post Bulletin, Rochester, MN

SIOUX CITY, IOWA — Garry Smith goes to work every day to the same location his father, his grandfather and his great-grandfather did before him. Garry and his cousin Carlton Smith are co-CEOs of JOLLY TIME Pop Corn, the business their great-grandfather C.H. Smith began in 1914.

C.H. Smith grew up on a farm in Sac County. The county earned the title "Popcorn Capital of the World'' by the early 1900s. National companies such as Cracker Jack purchased their popcorn from the firm.
