This year's maze

Well, here it is: a picture of this year's maze. This year, the design is the "flying shoebox" symbol from Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. Each of the circles that you see contain something that can be put in a shoebox for children living in poverty around the world. Also, you can see the words 'Samaritan's Purse' and 'Christmas Child' cut out in the maze. We will be doing a fundraiser for Samaritan's Purse later on in the year. The trivia this year also centers around Samaritan's Purse and the poverty that they work to relieve. If you make it out this year, be sure to try the trivia and learn something more about this organization that impacts many lives around the world. Well, that's all I can show you from here. If you want a better look, or better yet, an a-maze-ing experience, drop by and see it for yourself.
Until then, enjoy your summer.

Getting closer to the big day!

The weather is HOT! the corn is growing, the design is all cut out, and the big day is coming! It's almost July 31st, which means it's almost opening day. Starting July 31st we are open every Monday-Saturday in August from 10:00 in the morning to 9:00 at night, meaning we let people in until 9:00 and shut down at 10:00 pm. The critters are already getting excited about the hand-fed treats they'll get, and the staff is spreading straw on the paths to make it nice walking. The water guns are watering the cornfield, but no worries, it will be dry enough by Saturday! Oh, and guess who's coming out on Saturday as well? 94.1 FM (The Lounge) is sending out their 'Summer Events Cruiser'. Sounds like heaps of fun! See you soon!! Enjoy the heat.
