When the corn grew big enough to work on, Carol, Cyrus and Pam Waterman started cutting. Before long, neighbors and friends lent a helping hand. But a maize maze is a whole new phenomenon. Kids seldom do. Taking to the field like minnows to water, they enjoy every dead end and blind curve, and always find their way out.
Adults have a little more trouble.
Some get so frustrated, they cheat by breaking trail through the corn. In order to prevent cheating, checkpoints, each with its own punch, are placed throughout the puzzle. Guests are given cards before embarking on their adventure. In order to be recognized as having successfully negotiated the maze, an achievement entitling you to a special treat, your card must be punched at each station.
