The Corn Maze Is Back At Rural Hill Farm!
Wow - the corn maze sponsored by Rural Hill Farm must be gaining in popularity - it used to be held only every other year due to the amount of work involved. But it’s back again this year, after a successful run in 2006! Hooray for maze lovers of all ages!
If you’ve always wanted to try a life-sized maze like the ones you see pictured in England (hedge mazes), this is your best chance. The maze at Rural Hill is comprised of 7 acres of corn lined with color coded ribbon to help you stay oriented. Believe me - it’s easy to get lost in corn growing taller than you when all of the paths look alike and you swear you saw that same intersection just a minute ago . . .
Each group entering the maze is given a short orientation, a flag on a long pole to help the volunteers to keep track of you in the maze (which can also be waved if you need help), a ‘blank’ map - pieces to fill it in are located throughout - and a start time. Then the fun begins. There are water stations at several points to keep everyone hydrated. Your goal may be to find all of the map pieces (tried this last year and failed miserably), or just to wander around and eventually find your way out (tried that 3 years ago and had much better luck!). Either way, it’s a fun way for the whole family to spend a morning or afternoon.
Rural Hill Farm is located in Huntersville, north of Charlotte. For more information, visit their website at Rural Hill Farm Maze. The maze will be available now through October 21.
