We start designing our corn maze in January. Southern Arkansas University's graphic design class is asked to design a maze to our specifications. From the many rough drafts we choose one we like. From there Don Beerman from Wabash Valley Service spends up to 12 hours fitting this design into the designated acreage. This year it is 15 acres and quite challenging. The aireal photo of the maze will be presented to the student at the university and be part of his or her portfolio.
This year we decided to do the maze in honor of our nephew who battled leukemia for 7 years. Christopher was certified with ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) as a certified fitness trainer and a specialist in Performance Nutrition. The design is a barbell with the weights being pumpkins. Christopher saw the rough draft and was anticipating being the first one through this year. On May 31 Christopher passed away in Princeton, KY. He was an inspiration to those who knew him. The maze has nutrition facts in it this year and is dedicated to his memory.
The corn maze is open daily, but reservations need to be made to go through it at night. Call us at 618-516-1851 or 618-516-1853. Bring your flashlight and have some fun!
