Corn Maze!
Sep. 20th, 2020 06:14 pmI have always wanted to walk through a corn maze, and yesterday Wakanomori and I did! We visited Mike's Maze in Sunderland, MA, which every year has a maze that, when seen from the sky, is a picture or a message. (Here you can see pictures of previous years' mazes.)
This year, the maze is a giant exhortation to VOTE! You can see the design on the front of the kiosk. I also like the corn T-shirt the employee is wearing. She gave us a map--imagine giving Theseus a map!--and also a little pack of marbles, because inside the maze we would encounter opportunities to vote on various questions, and we'd use the marbles for that purpose. There were also periodic starred history points that shared history of advances and setbacks in the franchise.
( many, many photos below )
Because we were late finishing, we didn't get to try out the potato cannons, which apparently fired at voting-related targets:
We did, however, get a free mini-pumpkin, such as these two patrons are modeling as headgear:
It was a lovely afternoon.
