Official Maze of The Old Farmer's Almanac

Where Will It End? We had no Idea in 1993, we were starting a new thing in the world. Now it's known as an Entertainment Landscape Art-Form. Most of us just called it crazy when Don first talked about it. But inspired by "Field of Dreams" Don wouldn't let the idea wither. Here's just a few of the Maize Mazes "popping up" around the world. How about one to drive a sports car through – MG Maze   Then whole states started appearing ...Like Utah   ...Indiana, at McMaze97   ...Utah again, at Lehi   ...Washington, at Snohomish   Mazes are fun, and the designs—art done a mammoth scale, keep showing more of man's creative spirit. Deweese August 12 –   McMaze '96 –   Millets –   MaizeQuest '97 –   USAMM –   Reignac sur Indre, France In 1995 we were received a call from France, "Can you come and help us put in a Maze?" Well, we didn't pack up go over there right away, disapointing some here, but, as you can see, they put their hand to the task. Photo and caption below appeared on page 33 of the October/November issue of Civilization, the magazine of the Library of Congress. It was copied from an article entitled LOST AND FOUND IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST MAZE appearing in the July 27, 1997 issue of the Manchester Guardian Weekly, 164 Deansgate, Manchester M60 2RR, England. Whenever the moon is full in the summer, thousands of people descend on Reignac sur Indre, France, to wander among the green alleyways of several temporary mazes that sprout in the cornfields. Isabelle de Beaufort, on a one-woman mission to revive labyrinthine pleasures in Europe, creates the largest mazes in the world by carefully planting 37 acres with corn, the Manchester Guardian reports. This environmentally friendly tourist attraction—80,000 people visited the Reignac mazes last year—has already inspired rivals in Austria and Switzerland.   Wow, what have we started? From Grandma B's cornfield in Mudtown, to an agri-entertainment industry spanning the globe. Interesting. Oh yes, there are others out there carving up the landscape, too. Stan Herd does these –   and these – He's a friend...   then he got the bug... first a fish... an ancient Xiphactinus – done in alfalfa, "just for the sake of creating"   then the following year to corn – Go, Stan, Go!   and then there are these –   ahh... we're not sure who does these, but... we do know... The Truth Is Our There!
