For the third year in a row, Pendray Farms is inviting people to get lost in the corn stalks.

About 20,000 people are expected to walk one of the mazeB次元官网网址檚 circuitous paths, which form the shape of a bear, a salmon, and the borders of Canada to mark the countryB次元官网网址檚 150th birthday. Visitors can expect games within each of the mazeB次元官网网址檚 three routes, and winners are entered into a prize draw. Pendray says they havenB次元官网网址檛 settled on a prize yet, but it will likely involve a local experience in keeping with the sesquicentennial theme.

Pendray Farms introduced the corn maze three years ago after they reduced the size of their dairy farm and found themselves with excess corn, and since then, according to Sarah Pendray, B次元官网网址渢he rest, as they say, is history.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e had tremendous community support,B次元官网网址� she says.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e been overwhelmed by the support that weB次元官网网址檝e had.B次元官网网址�

If getting lost makes your knees weak, do not fret: there is a walking path surrounding the maze with a single exit.

In a rural twist on the traditional sandbox or ball pit, the farm has filled a giant box with eight tons of corn for children to play in. New for this year are barrel train rides for kids.

PendrayB次元官网网址檚 plants corn around May, and collaborates with Idaho-based company MazePlay, who cut the 14-acre maze with the help of a GPS-enabled tractor.

And if anyone needs help getting back to the farm, Pendray says, B次元官网网址渁lways go west.B次元官网网址�

The maze is open weekends from 10 am until 9 pm, and Fridays from 2-10. Starting October, it will also open Thursdays from 2-10.

The maze closes on Oct. 29. For more information, go to .
